Abstract
The tidal rhythm of migration of the mud-fiat diatom community is a curtailed diurnal rhythm. Evidence is given of the similarity of these two oscillations in the laboratory and in the natural conditions of the estuary. However, the interference of the diurnal rhythm by water or stirring results only in one repeated rhythm on the following day; thereafter the migrations revert to a day-length-induced synchronization.
