Extract

The swimming methods and habits of certain Decapod larvse have been observed. The first larva of Munida bamffica was chosen for special attention. Such a study shows the importance of (1) orientation, (2) the presence of a reversal mechanism.

Observations on other types show these factors to be of great importance and also show that there are a great variety of attitudes in which larvæ swim.

Points in the relation of the larvæ to their environment were next considered; orientation is again important here, but whereas in Munida larvæ a “resting” orientation is found no such attitude is seen in Brachyurous zoeas.
