THE MOVEMENTS OF THE TENTACLES FROM THE CONTACT OF SOLID BODIES.
I MOVIMENTI DEI TENTACOLI DAL CONTATTO CON CORPI SOLIDI.
Inflection of the exterior tentacles owing to the glands of the disc being excited by repeated touches, or by objects left in contact with them—Difference in the action of bodies yielding and not yielding soluble nitrogenous matter—Inflection of the exterior tentacles directly caused by objects left in contact with their glands—Periods of commencing inflection and of subsequent re-expansion—Extreme minuteness of the particles causing inflection—Action under water—Inflection of the exterior tentacles when their glands are excited by repeated touches—Falling drops of water do not cause inflection.
Inflessione dei tentacoli esterni dovuta all'eccitazione delle ghiandole del disco per tocchi ripetuti, o per oggetti lasciati in contatto con esse—Differenza nell'azione dei corpi che cedono e non cedono materia azotata solubile—Inflessione dei tentacoli esterni causata direttamente da oggetti lasciati in contatto con le loro ghiandole—Periodi di inizio dell'inflessione e della successiva riespa nsione—Estrema piccolezza delle particelle che causano l'inflessione—Azione sott'acqua—Inflessione dei tentacoli esterni quando le loro ghiandole sono eccitate da tocchi ripetuti—Le gocce d'acqua cadenti non causano inflessione.
