The energy metabolism of 14 healthy males was studied before and during a hypnotic trance in the basal state. Metabolic rates during the basal waking, the basal hypnotic trance and the basal sleep were also determined in three subjects for 3 consecutive days, respectively. It was observed that a hypnotic trance does not significantly influence the metabolic rates in a basal condition while natural sleep lowers the basal metabolic rates by 8.73%. hypnosis; oxygen consumption; carbon dioxide; elimination; respiratory quotient Submitted on April 7, 1964

Attempts have been made before (Rolleston (1) Hill (2)), but without success, to determine the heat produced by isolated nerve as the result of stimulation. Efforts also have been directed towards measuring the extra oxygen used (Haberlandt (3), Adam (4)), and the extra carbon dioxide eliminated (Tashiro (5), Parker (6), Moore (22)). The increase of oxygen consumption was too small to be determined with any certainty. The increase, however, of carbon dioxide elimination seemed to be measurable, though wide differences appeared between the results of Tashiro and of Parker. Prof. W. O. Fenn also has informed us that he has succeeded, by an independent method, in measuring the extra carbon dioxide set free by nerve during stimulation. The following table summarises the relevant quantitative results available.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.
