Abstract
Numerous marine organisms show rhythms in their behaviour, coinciding with the cycles of high and low tide; but they also continue under laboratory conditions. Bohn (1903) found that green flatworms (Convoluta) come to the surface of the sand during high tide, and at low tide they bury themselves into the sand as it dries. This rhythm also continues in an aquarium without the tidal cycle. We may further refer to the investigations by Bracher in Euglena limosa, by Faure-Fremiet in Chromulina and in the diatom Hantzschia.
