Abstract
Although the discharge mechanism of Malapterurus differs considerably in detail from that of Electrophones , the temperature changes that accompany the discharge are nearly identical, both in size and in time course. The results provided clear evidence for the occurrence of the cooling of adiabatic ionic mixing predicted by Bernstein & Tschermak (1906), and of a loadindependent cooling whose mean size on open circuit at 20 °C was 44 ucal/g.impulse, and which appears to be similar in origin to the fixed cooling component observed in Electrophones .
