28 Haining Monday, Sept. 17. Observations in lab.
29 Croyl blue brilliant
30+4 aliquots from pipette of standard
solution
Stenotome ( ) & Electra pilosa on
laminarian were O.K. after 2 1/2 hrs. This was
too long or too concentrated for Bugula +
Electra.
Typical local birefringence of Junulus
in wall of Electra stood out. This same
structure seems to longitudinal
merging up tentacle sheath (or is it
membrane of tentacle sheath
In Electra pilosa the proximal spine
(subaculea) stains blue whereas other short
spines do not stain blue. In E.g. 4 in stenotome
stomach has 3-4 large clear spherical
structures wh. extend across diameter of
digestive tract. Tentacular sheath clearly
stained even though tentacles retracted
to lower 1/3 of zoecium
Neutral Red.
Material in 3-3 1/2 hrs wh. was far too long.
Similar results to Croyl blue in amount of
stain taken up by various species & genera.
Bugula with seemingly "spines" around
frontal wall. ?? - 2 or 3-fingered arrangement.
