Abstract
Hatching progressively for cysts ofBranchinecta lindahli Packard when they were incubated for 6 and 12 hours at a temperature known to inhibit hatching (30 °C) prior to transfer to a favorable hatching temperature of 15 °C. Cyst ofThamnocephalus platyurus Packard, by contrast, hatched normally at 28 °C after transfer from 48, 72, and 96 hour incubation periods at the inhibitory low temperature of 10 °C.
