Ultraviolet radiation of wave lengths from 2800 Å to 3100 Å, generated by a General Electric RS sun lamp, was used to irradiate eggs and alevins of the sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). Mortality curves are presented for a series of measured dosages. Irradiation of eggs in the later stages of development produced a stimulating effect on the rate of hatching. These premature alevins, which hatched a month before the controls, were abnormal in several respects. The vertebral column was curved downward over the region of the heart, growth was retarded, the yolk was not utilized as rapidly as in the controls and pigmentation was delayed. The mortality was particularly high at the time of hatching and the process was abnormal. Histological examination of irradiated alevins revealed changes in the epidermis and fibroelastic layers of the skin. These were localized to the irradiated regions. Heavy doses produced severe degeneration of the epidermal layer with the formation of granules in the nuclei, the breakdown of the goblet cells, and subsequent desquamation. The changes were less extreme with lower dosages and in these fish a recovery began about 13 days after irradiation. Internal organs and tissues beneath the fibroelastic layers of the skin were not visibly affected by the irradiation.

Auxotrophic mutants of Cochliobolus sativus were obtained from survivors of ultraviolet radiation by a modified total-isolation technique. Five or six hyphal tip isolations made from each survivor were tested for nutritional deficiencies. Although 0.48% of the survivors yielded auxotrophs, only about one-third of the hyphal tip isolations from these survivors were auxotrophic. Apparently, mutation in a multinucleate propagule resulted in a heterokaryotic culture and only some of the isolations from a culture were homokaryotic for the mutation. Some of the mutants were morphologically distinct from their parent and one, a methionineless strain, had white spores. Results indicated that recurrent requirements for growth occurred at different mutational sites.A strain resistant to the antibiotic anisomycin appeared as a spontaneous mutation. This strain grew at 1500 and its spores germinated at 1750 p.p.m.; wild-type isolates grew only at 75 and their spores germinated at 100 p.p.m. of the drug. The resistant mutant was pathogenic to wheat seedlings.
