PHOTOCELL ANALYSIS OF THE LIGHT OF THE CUBAN ELATERID BEETLE, PYROPHORUS
Records are reproduced showing various types of luminescence intensity—time curves for the prothoracic light organs of Pyrophorus. A small (5 per cent) rhythmic fluctuation of light intensity during the reflex emission of light is to be observed in many records, which because of its rapid rate is a...
