Abstract
1. 1. Aquatic .VO 2 of three adult Blanding's turtles ( Emydoidea blandingii) wintering at 3°C on the bottom of a small Massachusetts pond was 0.342 ± 0.012 gml O 2/g/hr ( x ̄ ± SE ). 2. 2. This moderate rate of metabolism, compared with that of other species at low water temperature, is probably correlated with the physical characteristics of the hibernation site and the amount of movement demonstrated by wintering animals.
