Physiology and histology of the Cubomedusæ: including Dr. F.S. Conant's notes on the physiology
Berger, E. W. (Edward William)
Cubomedusae
Fig. 17. A transverse section through the tips of the ampulla cells is
here shown. To the left is towards the upper end of the ampulla. The
basal bodies with the centrad fibers are in the plane of the section,
while the flagella are supposed to extend below the plane of the section.
×1350. pp. 71.
Fig. 18. These bodies, from within the ampulla cells, contain some of
the secretion of the ampulla cells, and resemble the “floating bodies.”
×1350. pp. 72.
Fig. 19. The “floating bodies” here represented are from the ampulla.
Globules of a secretion similar to that found in the ampulla cells are
seen both within and without the bodies. Note also the two black bodies
without the cells and two or three similar ones within the cells. These
latter bodies are of doubtful nature. ×1320. pp. 72.
Fig. 20. This figure represents sections of the various nuclei found
within the ampulla cells. ×1350. pp. 69, 70.
Fig. 21. These cells are from the same preparation as Fig. 6. They are
evidently retinal cells from the simple eyes. The tendency of their
pigmented ends to become globular, I believe, is due to their having
become isolated before they hardened during maceration. ×920. pp. 62.
Fig. 22. This diagram illustrates the retraction of the long pigment
cells. The dotted lines in the vitreous body mark the outlines of the
prisms, while the continuous lines represent the axial fibers of the
prism and pyramid cells. pp. 45, 46, 48, 49, 53.
Fig. 23. These cells are from the epithelium of a sensory club. They are
from the same preparation as Fig. 6. Flagella are not shown. ×900. p. 64.
Fig. 24. This group of epithelial cells of a club are from the same
preparation as Fig. 6. ×850. p. 64.
Fig. 25. This sketch is a transverse section through the tips of the
epithelial cells of a club. The polygonal areas are the cells, while the
central dots are the centrad continuations (nerve fibers) the flagella of
the cells. ×920. pp. 63, 65, 66.
Fig. 26. The flagella of the epithelium of a club are in this figure seen
to extend centrad, some beyond the nuclei. Cell outlines are not shown.
×920. pp. 64, 65, 66.
Fig. 27. The cells of the lower half of this figure belong to the
ampulla, those of the upper half to the canal of the peduncle. The right
side of the figure is towards the eyes (the ventral side) of the club.
Globules of secretion are seen within the ampulla cells, as also a
globule without. The ring above the latter globule is probably an empty
shell of a floating cell. ×1320. pp. 68, 69, 71, 73.
Fig. 28. This figure is from a transverse section of a tentacle of
Charybdea. The mass with darkly stained granules is the remains of a
thread cell. The ectoderm and a small part of the supporting lamella only
are figured. Note the large ganglion cell. ×920. pp. 74, 75.
