Extract

Laboratory experiments indicate that larvæ of Scolecolepis fuliginosa when ready to metamorphose, are able, if necessary, to postpone metamorphosis until a substratum suitable for adult life is reached, meanwhile continuing to swim and grow for a period that may be as long as several weeks.
