A relatively small number of tests have been made upon late season Valencias (1935) and the present season (1935-36) Washington Navel oranges. The results indicate a situation closely resembling that for grapefruit with perhaps a slightly greater tendency to show initially positive curves.In a cursory manner the special respiratory test has been made upon apples, pears, grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, and other fruits and vegetables. The responses were frequently very interesting and suggested that the method might have a wider application than to citrus, as a simple and rapid test of maturity or vitality.The work of correlating the types of pressure curves obtained from fruit with its likely subsequent behavior on the market is very great. The practical value of the method can be determined only through its trial by many workers upon different varieties of fruit and in different localities. This situation is taken as justification for this preliminary report
