Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Biological Bulletin of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Vol. 4: December, 1902
Hargitt, '97, showed for the first time that a medusa when divided into two or several pieces had the capacity to recover the original form, and that various organs, as manubria, canals and tentacles, were also regenerated. He also showed that the proc ess was a gradual and orderly one. Further experiments in '99 by the same author showed that at least in case of radial canals and manubria the process was one of actual generation of new tissue and not merely the recasting of parts of old tissue into new forms.
