Author Description

Excerpt from The Eyes and Subneural Gland of Salpa The homology of the ganglion of Salpa with the nervous system of other groups of Tunicates was discussed, and the con elusion reached that 'salpa's ganglion is homologous with the ganglion of an adult Ascidian rather than with the elongated nerve cord of the Ascidian tadpole. The nervous system of Salpa at an early stage of its development closely resembles that of Doliolum. Salpa africana-maxima retains certain features of this Doliolum stage in the adult.
