Experiments were carried out to investigate the role of the gut in the osmotic balance of the land slug Arwlimax columbianus. Previous investigators have shown that absorption of nutrients, calcium, and some heavy metals occurs in the slug's digestive gland and intestine. The only function suggested

✦ Synopsis
In measuring the rate of the nervous impulse in the slug Ariolimax columbianus the fact of the remarkable extensibility of the pedal nerves, which were used for the pupose by us, was a matter of constant observation, as it gave us no little trouble in making the determinations. This slug reaches a large size, individuals being frequently met with which, when extended in the act of crawling, are 25 centimeters in length.

## Abstract The giant garden slug, __Limax maximus__, crawls by producing sequential pedal waves that propagate forward along a medial band of muscle running the full length of the foot. Nerves that originate in the pedal ganglion appear to innervate the foot musculature along its length, but not a
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable technique for assessing conduction in the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), bearing in mind its anatomical variation. Based on our anatomical study, normative values were obtained in 40 healthy nerves. The optimal stimulation s
## Abstract Although widely used in wetland hydrological studies, hydraulic conductivity (__K__) estimates from piezometer slug tests are often of questionable validity. Frequently, this is because insufficient attention is paid to the details of the test procedure. Further, in a potentially hetero
