✦ Synopsis

inhibit specific metabolic reactions or to affect physiological processes were tested to determine the extent and the time period of their activity during the regeneration process.

Methods

All worms were collected from a specific site at a local cold water spring. The worms have been tentatively identified (from Pennak, '53) as Dlugesin dorotocephnla. The stock cultures of worms are fed raw beef liver once a week and are kept at room temperature (around 25°C) in shallow pans of a standard salts solution: 1 X M KC1, 1 X M NaCl. and 1 x 10-6 M disodium versenate. Under these conditions the worms grow to n large size, reproduce N CaCl,, 1 x
