The next question that naturally suggested itself was how much of a finger must be exposed to a current of sea- water to induce the opening of its osculum. To test this, ;i iclass tube was made to cover the distal half of a finger, leaving the proximal half exposed to the general current. To check the eddying of the current up into the tube a
