It is therefore impossible to decide whether or not a current or a flow of substances in a certain direc- ' Loeb, J., "Untersuchungen zur physiologlschen Morphologie der Tiere." Regeneration 173 tion through these elements is responsible for this polarity, though this may be possible. The writer found, however, that one condition is necessary for the growth and regeneration of tentacles which also plays a role in the corresponding phenomena in plants, namely turgidity. The tentacles of Cerianth...us are hollow cylinders closed at the tip, and by liquid being pressed into them they can be stretched and appear turgid. If, however, an incision is made in the body, the tentacles above the incision can no longer be stretched out. In one experiment the oral disk of a Cerian- thus was cut off; very soon new tenta- cles began to grow at the top, and after having reached a certain size, an incision was made in the animal. The tentacles above the incision collapsed in conse- quence and ceased to grow, while growth of the others continued.
