Abstract
Circulating hemocytes of Oncopeltus fasciatus (Dallas) are known to exhibit a measurable amount of mitotic activity. The mitotic index was employed as the criterion of response to various treatments involving factors which might affect this activity. Bleeding, injury, and adrenaline were found to increase the mitotic activity; these effects were seen during the 48th to 72nd hour of the fifthnymphal stadium. Cobalt gamma radiation blocked mitotic activity at the metaphase stage. Equivocal results were obtained from experiments with 2 carcinogenic agents, but definite morphological changes were noted in blood cells exposed to them.
