TABLE. IV.—Showing the Results following section of Pinnules at different
Points in Pinnœ .

No. of Experi- ment.	Result.
	A.—Section of tips of distal pinnules of distal pinnæ .
1	Action in that pinna; slight action in its secondary pulvinus; action in the pri- mary pulvinus, but depression somewhat obstructed mechanically; no further result.
2	Action in that pinna; no further result.
3	Pause; action in the primary pulvinus; centripetal action in that pinna; cen- trifugal action almost to the tip of the other distal pinna; no further result.
4	Slow action in that pinna, imperfect towards the base; action in the primary pul- vinus; slight action in the bases of two other pinnæ; no further result.
5	Progressive, complete action in that pinna; no further result; primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse; re-expansion very rapid.
6	Progessive, complete action to nearly the base of that pinna; no further result primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
7	Pause; full action in the primary pulvinus; spreading, complete, centripetal action in that pinna; no further result.
8	Very slow and imperfect action in that pinna; no further result; primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
9	Pause; action in the primary pulvinus; action in the cut pinna; no further result.
10	Slow and almost complete action in that pinna; pause; action in the primary pulvinus; no further result.
	B.—Section of tips of proximal pinnules of proximal pinnæ .
11	Pause; action in the primary pulvinus; slow, slight, imperfect action in the bases of both proximal pinnæ; no further result.
12	Pause; commencing centrifugal action in the base of that pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; completed centrifugal action in that pinna; incomplete action in the base of two, and complete action in the base of the third remain- ing pinna.
13	Pause; incomplete action in the base of that pinna; incomplete action in the basal halves of the other pinnæ; no further result; primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
