PLANARIA Wfhen I received twelve plnnaria, I thought that they were the oddest and queerest looking things that I had ever seen. I still do. They are the only species of Plathyhelminthes that are not parasites. At first, my parents objected to my keeping them in my room until they found out th1t the pl1n1ri1 'Ire only 1bout one fourth of 1n inch long 1nd could not possibly hurt me They 1re very inexpensive pets 1s they require only one tiny piece of liver 1 week for 111 of them The minute the food is put into the w1ter they st1rt to slide over to it When they become filled they move 1w1y in like m1nner Now, for the oper1t1ons The simplest one is to slit the t11l up the center If it is kept sep1r1ted, it will grow two tuls bo f1r I h1ve succeeded in h1v1ng only one pl1n1ri1 grow two complete t11ls If 1ny p1rt of the body IS cut off, it is cert11n to grow complete 1g1in The head will grow a new body, 1nd the body will grow 1 new he1d The other day I performed 1 m11or oper1t1on on the pet that I call Dame I cut a notch in the side of the he1d, 1nd 1 slit down the stom1ch and t11l It h1s alre1dy grown two new t11ls, but th second he1d is not complete yet I-Iowever, it should be soon As I s11d I st1rted out with twelve pl1n1r11, 1nd now I h1ve from twenty fiye to thirty five of them Any little tiny piece of them will grow 1 new body so it is very h1rd to kill them These little iny ertebr1tes hlve rem1rk1ble rcgenerltive powers W1tch1ng them 1s well 1s studying 1bout thcm, his given me m1ny hotrs of instructive ple1sure CAROLYN Siiwvk 48 Carolyn feeds he pe! new!
