If the rate for the normal medusa in large aquaria of filtered stagnant sea-water is taken as , the rate in small aquaria (400 cc.) is ; in running water, For starving medusae regenerating their bell-rims, the rate is ; if starving with stomachs removed, In general the starving medusae regenerate as rapidly as the well-fed.
