    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Nahrungsmenge, die von einer Larve der Wanderheuschrecke, Locusta migratoria L., im fünften Entwicklungsstadium bei einer einzigen Mahlzeit verzehrt wird, wurde ermittelt, indem ihr Darm und Darminhalt sofort nach dem Fressen gewogen wurden. In der Mitte des Entwicklungsstadiums wurden größere Mengen verzehrt, Weibchen fraßen mehr als Männchen, jedoch sind die weiblichen Larven ja auch größer. Die Menge der aufgenommenen Nahrung vergrößerte sich mit der Dauer künstlichen Futterentzuges. Sie erreichte ihren Höhepunkt nach sechs Stunden, nach welcher Zeit der Vorderdarm absolut leer war. Die verzehrten Mengen waren je nach der Art der Nahrung unterschiedlich. Auch stellten die Insekten sich so ein, daß sie von einer bestimmten Nahrung mehr zu sich nahmen, wenn sie daran aufgezogen worden waren. Nach längeren Zeitspannen der Isolierung hatten sie die Tendenz, weniger zu fressen. Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit hatten keinen Einfluß auf die Mengen, die verzehrt wurden, außer bei 40°, bei welcher Temperatur sich das gesamte Verhalten zum Fressen ändert.
    Notes: Abstract Meal size in fifth-instar nymphs of Locusta migratoria L. has been investigated by weighing the gut and its contents immediately after feeding. Larger meals are taken in mid-instar, while females eat more in one meal than males under the same conditions. Bigger meals are also eaten after longer periods of food deprivation, but after deprivation for two hours or less, corresponding with the normal interfeed length, meals are smaller than would be expected from the potential maximum foregut volume. The maximum volume attained varies with the type of food available to the insects and is influenced by previous conditioning. Temperature and humidity do not affect meal size except at 40°, at which temperature the usual pattern of feeding is completely altered.

    Notes: Summary The basic structure of the terminal sensilla of Locusta migratoria resembles that of Schistocerca gregaria. There are commonly six or ten neurons whose dendrites extend almost to the opening of the peg. Proximally the dendrites are clothed by a neurilemma cell which also encloses a basal cavity through which their ciliary region passes. The tormogen cell encloses the receptor-lymph cavity and actively secretes material into it. The receptor-lymph cavity and the basal cavity are quite separate. The development of new pegs at a moult is described. After apolysis the scolopale extends across the subcuticular space and protects the dendrites, which remain in a functional condition until shortly before ecdysis. As the trichogen cell grows out to form a new peg the tip is surrounded by a mass of electron-dense material, probably derived from the receptorlymph cavity. The function of this material is unknown. Regeneration of the dendrites is considered. The possible mechanism by which the tip of the peg opens and closes is considered and the general structure of the organule is discussed in relation to functioning.

    Notes: The change in apparent molal volume φ of DNA on thermal denaturation in carbonate buffer at pH 11.0 has been determined by the dilatometric method. It was found that φ increases sigmoidally during the helix-coil transition. Several methods, including a colorimetric technique that closely simulates the conditions used in the dilatometric experiments, were employed to estimate the protons lost by the DNA during the transition. These measurements indicated that the extent of the proton loss depends on the counterion present, increasing in the order Li+ 〈 Na+ 〈 K+ 〈 Cs+. The major part of the volume changes observed during the denaturation is due to the volume changes expected to accompany the transfer of protons from the bases guanine and thym ne to carbonate ions. As has been previously reported for the denaturation of DNA at neutral pH, the volume change directly due to the change in shape of the polymer molecules is so small as to be experimentally undetectable.
