1. Saltants have been produced in the fungus Chaetomium globosum by longer wave lengths than previously reported—by 365 mµ and by a visible line 404 mµ.

2. Absence at these wave lengths of the K saltant, which is so abundant at short wave lengths, is marked.

3. Ratio of percentage irradiated spores germinating to control spores germinating decreases from 83 per cent at 265 mµ, a short ultraviolet wave length, to 57 per cent at 404 mµ, a visible violet wave length.
