GENERAL BIOLOGY OF PHYSALIA

Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the general biology of Physalia. It was proposed to concentrate research efforts on two major aspects of the general problem: first, the secretion of gas into the float, and second, the nature and circulation of the gastrovascular fluid. Attention was directed to the unexpected composition of gas, consisting up to 15% of carbon monoxide. Various attempts were made to study the rate of secretion of the gas under various conditions.
