## Abstract Regeneration was examined in different regions of planaria __(Dugesia tigrina)__ in order to determine the effect that the shape of a section exerts on proportion regulation during regeneration. Length: width ratios were used as an index of section shape and experiments utilized section

Regeneration was examined in fissioned and unfssioned planarians (Dugesia tigrina) in terms of regenerative success and body proportioning. Regenerative success was determined in terms of percent of abnormal regenerates and number of abnormalities per abnormal regenerate. Sections from unfissioned a
The neuropeptide substance P (SP) is shown to be a potent mitogen for intact and regenerating planarians. At nanomolar concentrations, SP markedly enhances cellular proliferation causing an increase in the mitotic index and in the number of blastema cells. Moreover, albeit to a lower extent,
The Influence of Light on the Development of Organs in Animals.
I n a paper entitled " T h e Influence of Light on the Development of Organs in Animals," '95, Loeb states "that light favors the development of polyps in Eudendrium (ramosum); that no polyps, or only very few, are developed in the dark." At the suggestion of Prof. Morgan, I undertook to determine t
