It is of interest to look for more ex- amples of autodigestion accompanying phenomena of regeneration. The writer has observed more closely the transforma- tion of an organ into more undifferentiated material in Campanularia (Pig. 33), a This organism shows a remarkable stereotropism. Its stolons attach themselves to solid bodies, and the stems appear on the side of the stolon exactly opposite the point or area of contact with the solid body. The stems 1 Loeb, J., Am. Jour.
