Abstract
1. 1. Metabolic rates (O 2 consumption and CO 2 production) were similar in the Djungarian hamster and the white mice. 2. 2. The Djungarian hamster had a decreased tidal volume, an increased frequency of breathing (due to a lengthened expiratory time) and a decreased minute ventilation compared to that of the mouse. 3. 3. Although the relative ventilatory increase in response to hypercapnia or hypoxia was similar in the hamster and the mouse, the breathing patterns during exposures differed.
