Abstract
Several methods of recording locomotor activity patterns in marine animals are described. Particular emphasis is given to the use of uniselectors as memory stores and the delivery of stored data periodically to an electric typewriter for display, either numerically or graphically. Actograph design should take into account the normal behaviour of the experimental animals.Keywords
