DE EVOLUTIONE BRYNMAWRENSIS Experiment No. MCMXXVIII, B Subject: The same organisms, at the crustacean stage. Object: See Experiment, MCMXXVIII, A. Appa.rai.us: ibid, with addition of a few inferior beings. Method: Again placed in the environment, after a period of partial independence, the crustaceans, crabs, lobsters, oysters and the like, were seen to be depleted in numbers as a result of the annual dumbellectomy ' performed in unmerited fashion during the summer solstice. The reaction of the remainder to the inferior beings was noticeable; they exhibited marked signs of inflation 2 and they pursued these beings with extraordinary persistence. However, they soon became so absorbed in their own activities that they ceased to pay any atten- tion to these creatures. Being crustaceans, they seemed to consider themselves impervious to all external attacks. Under the influence of the envi- ronment, certain of them were seen to reach out in various directions. Some, the lobsters, had become more complicated organisms than the bivalves, or even the crabs. Distinctions were made. Certain of the most highly developed were noticed by the superior beings, and raised to positions of importance. All showed a more intelligent interest in the activities by which they were surrounded. The sidling gait of sophomoric superiority was characteristic. Conclusions: The crustacean stage, while not so charming as the earlier simple protoplasm, yet shows reactions of more value and interest. It is felt that certain of the crustaceans will develop to a much higher degree, and as a group all they need is time. 1 cf. Appendectomy , tonsilectomy . 2 As all students of Economics (H. C. J. or M. P. S., 5 hrs., H) will recognize, a period of infla- tion is invariably followed by a period of depression. 29
