From works on the anatomy and ecology of dorid nudibranchs it has been assumed that they were capable of cutaneous respiration through their dorsal mantle. The present work has shown how the oxygen uptake is depressed when the doridsOnchidoris bilamellataandArchidoris pseudoargusare exposed to air and the gills collapsed into the body surface. The effect of ligaturing the gills ofA. pseudoargusinto the branchial pocket has enabled direct measurements to be made of the mantle respiration. The effect of temperature on respiration was examined.
