This note concerns a series of experiments to determine the best conditions of salinity, temperature and pH for cultivating the euryhaline phagotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina Dujardin. The strain of Oxyrrhis employed was isolated from a brackish pool at Tvarminne, Finland (Droop, 1953a, b). The culture medium for the experiments contained soil extract and an artificial sea water, SW 1 (NaCl, MgCl26H20, KCl, and CaS042H20 in the proportions by weight 15:2'5:
