The anterior end swings about in a circle (turning continually toward the aboral or dorsal side). It thus tries many different directions, at the same time receiving samples of water from each of these directions, i, 2. 3, 4, 5, the successive positions taken, with the currents of water at the anterior ends. If the stimulus ceases the organism may stop in any of these positions, and swim forward in the direction so indi- cated. (The backward swimming, which precedes or accompanies the turning, is not represented.).
