lua may well be a matter of sampling. One such sample col- lected from each of the two stations differed by a factor of less than three, while the maximum and minimum specific activities of a series of nine sea cucumber guts taken from an area of less than one thousand square feet at Aaraanbiru differed by a factor of more than six. The average values of 411 invertebrate samples from each station are given in Table 9. The limited usefulness of these values is discussed on page 17. They were not considered in the ranking of stations discussed in the preceding paragraph.

General statements can be made as to tissue and organ differences in specific activity although there were not sufficient specimens of any one species of invertebrates to warrant statistical analysis. The relative rankings presented here are based on comparison of the specific activity of each tissue or organ in individual specimens. - 40 - cee EEE ree
