Summary

"Physiology and Histology of the Cubomedusæ" by E. W. Berger is a scientific book that expands on research begun by Dr. Franklin Story Conant, detailing new discoveries about the Cubomedusæ jellyfish, with a focus on Charybdea Xaymacana; it dives into the sensory and movement systems of these creatures, including how they react to light and capture food, building on prior research and Berger's methods to show how light affects their activity, finding moderate light excites them, while strong light or darkness slows them down, all while exploring the complex design of their sensory organs and their role in the lives of these sea animals.
