In another series of experiments, a short piece was cut from the basal end of a long piece (three to four centimetres) and brought forward and grafted in a reversed position on the anterior end of the same long piece (Fig. 49, _A_). Of five unions of this sort, one produced a hydranth in each component, neither being reversed. Another of the pieces produced a hydranth partly out of each component (and at the same time another at the aboral end of the large piece). The other two pieces produced a single hydranth, a part of which came from the minor component and appeared before the aboral hydranth on the aboral end of the larger piece. This last result shows that the small piece from the basal end has been affected by the oral end in such a way that it develops more rapidly than it would have done had it remained a part of the basal end. In a third series of experiments a short piece (about a half of a millimetre) was cut from the anterior end of a long piece (one and five-tenths to two centimetres) and grafted _in a reversed position_ on the posterior end of the same long piece (Fig. 49, _G_). In four cases a hydranth developed only at the oral end of the long piece and none from the aboral end or from the short piece. Eight unions produced, however, in the region of the graft, a hydranth formed partly by each component. Later another hydranth developed at the oral end of the larger piece. The latter results are not convincing, but they may show that the small piece has hastened the development of the hydranth at the aboral end.
