THE MOVEMENTS OF THE TENTACLES FROM THE CONTACT OF SOLID BODIES.
触须因接触固体物质而产生的运动。
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.
外部触须的弯曲，是由于盘状腺体受到反复触碰或与之接触的物体的刺激所致——能释放和不能释放可溶性含氮物质的物体在作用上的差异——外部触须的弯曲直接由与其腺体接触的物体所引起——弯曲开始及其后复张的时间——引起弯曲的微粒的极度微小——在水下的作用——外部触须的腺体受到反复触碰时触须的弯曲——下落的水滴不会引起弯曲。
