"Physiology and Histology of the Cubomedusæ" by E. W. Berger is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a continuation of studies originally conducted by Dr. Franklin Story Conant at the Johns Hopkins Marine Laboratory and includes his experimental notes along with new findings. The book primarily explores the physiological and anatomical aspects of Cubomedusæ, particularly focusing on the species Charybdea Xaymacana, along with other related forms. The opening of the dissertation sets the stage for a detailed examination of the sensory and motor functions of the Cubomedusæ, particularly how they respond to light and their feeding mechanisms. It introduces the historical background of the research, acknowledges Dr. Conant’s contributions, and outlines the investigative framework employed by Berger. Key physiological experiments are noted, such as the effects of light on activity levels, and initial observations of Charybdea reveal intriguing responses indicating that moderate light stimulates activity while bright light or darkness tends to inhibit it. The text also discusses the intricate structure of sensory organs and their relevance in the behavior and survival of these fascinating marine creatures.
