Extract

We have, during the last two years, made a series of observations upon specimens of Sagartia troglodytes which are at least fifty years old, and have thought it worth while to give a somewhat detailed account of these, as, so far as we can ascertain, there is only one other recorded case of longevity in Coelenterates (see p. 302), and very few in the whole of the Invertebrata.
