Abstract
The chloride content of the blood of the hag-fish Polistotrema stouti (Lockington) is comparable to that of the marine invertebrates and it is probable that part of the body wall of this species is freely permeable to water and salts. This is interpreted as indicating that the hag-fish have had no fresh water ancestors.
