THE MOVEMENTS OF THE TENTACLES FROM THE CONTACT OF SOLID BODIES.
固体との接触による触手の運動。
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.
円盤の腺が繰り返しの接触によって、あるいは腺に触れたまま置かれた物体によって興奮させられることで生じる外側触手の屈曲——可溶性の含窒素物質を放出する物体と放出しない物体の作用の違い——腺に接触したまま置かれた物体によって直接引き起こされる外側触手の屈曲——屈曲の開始と、その後の再伸展の時期——屈曲を引き起こす粒子の極めて微小な大きさ——水中での作用——腺が繰り返しの接触によって興奮させられた際の外側触手の屈曲——落下する水滴は屈曲を引き起こさない。
