Abstract
1. 1. The movements of Cl −1 have been studied in the so-called anterior and posterior gills of E. sinensis using radioactive 36Cl −1. 2. 2. The anterior gills hardly show any significant movements of Cl −1. They thus have a very low (if any) permeability to that ion. On the contrary, the posterior gills show both passive fluxes and an active inward movement of Cl −1. 3. 3. The Cl −1 influx in the posterior gills is largely sensitive to the amount of K + in the perfusion saline.
