Gardner 1916 Pomona College of Entomology and Zoology, Vol. VIII, No. 4, December The Central Nervous System of Serpent Stars WILLIAM A. HILTON Several summers ago the activities of small serpent stars attracted my attention. The young of Ophioderma panamensis Lutken, pos- sibly mingled with the minute young of Ophionereis annulata Le Conte were found in great numbers at Laguna Beach. These little creatures seemed fully as active as the adults. As compared to mature forms they were often very minute, the diameter of the discs being one-tenth or one-twentieth that of the adults. As compared with the starfish the adult nervous system is, of course, more highly organized although as well known it follows the same general plan of arrangement. In the adult form studied, Ophioderma, the larger more superficial or epineural nerve bands were best marked and were chiefly studied. The hyponeural nerves were not prominent or well separated from the epineural. The large pedal ganglia are well marked and of the same general struc- ture as the radial parts of the epineural strands, but the cells seemed a little larger and the fibers not quite so marked in the same prepara- tion. In some quite small serpent stars where the radial and circumoral systems were compared although the structure was the same in general, the more central part of the nervous system was much larger. In a specimen with a disc one milimeter in diameter the radial was about half the diameter of the circumoral. This would indicate more of a centralization than in the starfish. A section across the radial nerve shows the nerve cells similar to those in starfish, located in the outer zone, two or three cells deep. The wider fiber area is quite homogeneous in some preparations but in others there were here found large numbers of cell processes similar to those of starfish. Certain rather fortunate slides showed these processes with great clearness. The best results of this sort were obtained from specimens fixed in Flemming’s fluid, the cal- cium salts of the skeleton were afterward removed by means of acid 172, Journal of Entomology and Zoology alcohol, sections were cut in parathine. Some sections were stained with iron hematoxylin, but some were mounted unstained and occa- sionally a very fine Golgi-like impregnation of certain cells with their branches was evident. From such preparations it was learned that the cell processes were about one to a cell and that this often branched at half its length or a little more, although it was difficult to make this out because of frequent crossing of the fibers. Most cells seemed to be uni- or bi-polar, but some had other branches running back among the cells of the celular area. In some places the long fibers from the cells were very wavy and they often ran slantingly, crossing many cell processes, some may have been larger than others, although it was impossible to be sure of their compara- tive size because of differences in position and staining. In small specimens smaller fibers or fibrils were evident and very numerous. In this, as compared with the starfish studied, there was more the indication of fibrillae, but no marked development of these. On the whole, the central nervous system seems more like the complex sys- tems of other forms than does starfish. The nerve cells are well marked, sometimes with nucleoli and with much chromatin but not usually with the characteristic arrange- ment of chromatin material. In some cases a small amount of material in the cytoplasm gave the appearance of tigroid substance. As in starfish, fibers from cells usually appeared as single fibrils especially in the adult. In many places the fibers or fibrils seemed to start rather abruptly from the outer zone of cytoplasm of its cell. In a few cases two fibers seemed to start from the same place in a cell, but this of course may have been where one of the fibers in crossing was cut off, or possibly fibers entering and leaving the same cell. The details of fibers and cells were taken from Flem- ming’s fluid preparations either stained or unstained. The segmental arrangement of ganglia in the arms is one of the well known features which forms such a striking resemblance to the ganglionic cords of many segmented animals. In some of the smaller specimens the condition of the gangila is especially well marked, towards the ends the nerve strand becomes quite reduced. In longitudinal sections of the arms of serpent stars the thicker cell area is, of course, that of the superficial radial nerve while the cells Pomona College, Claremont, California 173 of the closely applied deeper or hyponeural nerves seem like the less numerous dorsal nerve cells of the ventral ganglia of arthro- pods and annelids. It is understood by some that the epineural nerves are sensory in function, the hyponeural motor, if this be so then the statements in a number of places in literature that the ven- tral cells of certain arthropods are sensory and the dorsal cells are motor in function seems not without interest. Upon comparing the size of the ganglia of small serpent stars with those of adults, it was found that the nervous system is in pro- portion, much better developed in the small specimens. All the larger figures shown were drawn to the same scale, yet the figures of the adult were from a specimen with a disc fifteen times that of the small specimens. The radial nerve of the small specimen shown in cross section is through its narrowest part. In a small specimen of 1 mm. disc diameter the radial nerve was one-third of the diam- eter of the arm. In an adult but small specimen the arm was 3.5 mm. in diameter while the nerve strand was only .04 to .01 mm. in diameter. The nerve cells were slightly more numerous in cell areas in the small specimens than in the large. SOME POINTS SUGGESTED BY THESE OBSERVATIONS 1. The synapse in this form and probably other echinoderms seems to be by simple contact, possibly at the sides as well as at the terminals of nerve cells. 2. If fibrils are found within nerve cells they are represented by very few, possibly only one to a fiber in many cases. 3. Some slight indications of tigroid substance were found. 4. With the growth of the nervous system the nerve cells become less abundant at any one place while the relative size of the nerves becomes much less in the adult. 5. [he nervous system of the serpent stars looks much more like the nervous structures of more complex forms than does that of the starfish. 6. 10. Fig. 2 The central nervous system of Artemia sp. X 10. Fig. 3; The central nervous system of Estheria californica. 10. 431 432 WILLIAM A. HILTON In Estheria it was very difficult to remove the ganglia intact, so the sketch given is from the nervous system in situ for the most part. The brain is of quite a different shape, the optic ganglia are shown in the drawing connected with the compound eyes, which nearly touch each other. Only one pair of antennal nerves is shown in the drawing. The brain is more decidedly Fig. 4 Diagrammatic plan of cell arrangement in the ventral ganglia of Branchipus. X 75. NERVOUS SYSTEM OF CRUSTACEA 433 made up of two lateral masses than in the other genera studied. Four commissures may be clearly seen connect ng the two lateral parts. Four were also seen in Artemia and Branchipus but not so clearly. The ventral ganglia of Estheria begin with the mandibular and extend to the end of the body with a pair of ganglia to each segment and with two commissures connecting each pair (fig. 3). Cells of a number of types were found. In Branchipus they are from 0.01 mm. to 0.05 mm. in diameter. The much smaller but similar Artemia has smaller cells, the largest being about 0.02 mm. and the smallest about 0.005 mm. Two divisions of cells may be made, the neuroglia cells and the nerve cells. The neuroglia cells, small or large, were not so deeply stained in the fibrillar area; they usually have granular nuclei. From whole mounts and sections it was evident that the neuroglia nets are much as described in other invertebrates. It is possible that some of the small cells which seem to be nerve cells are neuroglia cells. CELLS Practically all the nerve cells, especially of Branchipus, have well-marked cell bodies filled with dark staining material and clear nuclei containing nucleoli. A few nerve cells have much clearer cytoplasm than the others. In the large cells especially, tigroid substance may be seen even in surface views. In the larger cells also the fibrillae are quite evident. The general shape of the cells is spherical, but some are elongate. Most cells are unipolar or bipolar, but a few are multipolar (figs. 5 to 13). Large, medium sized and small cells are found in the cellular areas with no apparent special order, but the largest cells are found at certain places at the margins of the ganglia. At least one, sometimes two or three of the largest cells are located on each side near the more caudal commissures of each ventral ganglion. These in many cases send or receive processes to or from the connectives. Perhaps they are cells in most cases with long commissural fibers. WILLIAM A. HILTON 434 NERVOUS SYSTEM OF CRUSTACEA 435 In each ganglion of each side the cells are arranged in a char- acteristic manner. In all the middle body ganglia the ventro- mesal cell group is less marked than the ventro-lateral. The outer portion of the ventral-lateral group often has a number ot large cells similar to those in the other group. The larger cells in most cases represent those that send their fibers longer dis- tances, but they often have more than one branch and the exter- nal and internal mass of fibrillae connected to them seems more complex than on smaller cells. In some cases the larger cells seemed to have their cytoplasm fused, but most of the cells, although near each other, had their cell bodies distinct. Nerve fibrillae are evident between and in cells, although some of the largest cells have one or two large fibers which leave or enter the cells. Some cells of apparently the same type seem to have no very large branch, but fibrillae enter and leave the cell. Many large cells seem to be penetrated on all sides by numerous fibril- lae, or if fibrillae do not all penetrate they are closely related to all the peripheral parts of the cell body. Cells of varying numbers are found in the commissures, these are chiefly medium or small cells and some at least are nerve cells. The number of cells in the ganglia was possible to de- termine quite well from surface preparations and some compari- sons were made between Artemia and Branchipus. The larger species has not only the larger nerve cells, but the larger number of nerve cells. The number of cells in corresponding ganglia was found to be less in the smaller animals. The average number of cells in the middle ventral ganglia on each side ran from 130 to 204 in Branchipus, while Artemia had from 120 to 160 cells in each lateral ganglion. The number of cells in the intermediate ganglia of a number of specimens was counted and, although the count cannot be considered absolute because of Figs. 5 and6 Sections through the abdominal ganglia of Branchipus. The dorsal side is to the top of the page. 75. Fig. 7 Brain of Branchipus from a surface preparation. The cephalic side is to the top. X75. Fig. 8 Upper ventral ganglia of Branchipus, surface view.

The cells often differ slightly in number in different similar ganglia of the same animal, both in the same segment on each side and in different segments at various levels. 2. The number of cells is also variable in the same parts of the same ganglia in different animals. 3. The peripheral parts supplied by each of these ganglia do not differ in any way that could be determined. 4, It was even more clear that the cells in the commissures differed widely. The next to the last cephalic commissure in one specimen had 38 cells, the next 20, then, 19, 7, 10, 12, 16, 10, etc. Similar variations were found in other specimens. The lower cephalic commissures as a rule had more cells, while the upper had less. It was also noted that some of the large cells which have quite a characteristic position are in some places represented by one cell, in others by two. In a few cases noted the large cells have an independent peripheral distribution as compared with the usual indirect distribution through a commissure. It is as though a cell which ordinarily grew out to the periphery by way of a commissure missed it in some way and left the ganglion by a single fiber. FIBER TRACTS Branchipus was especially studied because the material was more favorable. The brain so far as could be determined is united from side to side by four commissures, a dorsal, two medial and a ventral. The last is below a small group of medial cells. The commissure just above this group seems the largest. The ventral commissure is partly from near-by cells and from basal parts of the con- Fig. 9 Sixth and fifth ventral ganglia of Branchipus.

Many of the medial fibers may be traced out to the optic lobes. Fibers from the largest median cephalic cells de- scend the connectives. Fibers from cephalic and lateral cell groups cross in the center of the brain and either run straight into commissures or cross somewhat diagonally. Fibers from the smaller cell groups on the connectives near antennal nerves descend the connectives and ascend into the central parts of the brain to the same side or the opposite side. The small cephalic branches of the brain send fibers for a short distance into the brain and cells near here supply them. The mass of the con- nective fibers runs straight in to the central parts of the brain. Fibers from cephalic lateral cells cross at angles to relate them- selves to various cell groups, to run in the optic nerves and to run into the central part of the brain. The connections of the optic ganglia were not studied. So far as there is a special center in the brain to which all fibers con- . verge it would be the general region of median cephalic cells. It is from this region that the larger cells probably send their fibers long distances down the connectives to ventral ganglia. In general the distribution of tracts in the ventral ganglia is as follows: 1. Fibers in the connectives ascending or descending. 2. Fibers from the branches or nerve trunks end, cross in commissures and ascend or descend in the connectives. Many end where they enter the ganglia or on the opposite side in the same ganglion or in the opposite ganglion. 3. Fibers in the commissures cross from cells of either group and end in relation to cells of either group of the opposite gan- glion. Fibers in the commissures may also be seen to ascend or descend in the direction of the connectives. 4. Each cell area of each ganglion is probably connected as follows: a) Fibers to other cell areas of each side through the commissures. b) Fibers to cell areas of each side not from the other side through the commissures. c) Ascending fibers. d) Descending fibers. The commissures are probably made up as follows: a) Fibers from cells in upper levels. b) Fibers from lower levels. ¢) NERVOUS SYSTEM OF CRUSTACEA 439 From the same level from both sides, especially from median cells. d) Probably fibers to and from lateral branches of gan- glia, although this was not clearly demonstrated (fig. 4). SOME GENERAL CONCLUSIONS The study of these nervous systems shows certain advantages due to the nature of the material and the method. There is less distortion because with whole mounts no heat was used. There is also a more perfect picture presented than in most methylen blue preparations because all the cells show. When large ganglion cells were at the edge of the preparation quite a little could be seen of their finer structure and the fibers and fibrils were often presented with great clearness. [ believe that, although the grosser processes are important, that the fibrillar connections are more important in determin- ing the intimate relationships of cells to each other. It seems probable from these observations that any cell may have its cytoplasm penetrated by fibrils which are directly connected with other cells, while its one or two main branches carry out fibrils in larger masses, break up into fibrils and by usual methods are not followed farther. The variation in the number of cells in similar segments suggests the probability that the nervous system acts not so much through individual innervation of special areas by special cells, as by a more general innervation by groups of cells. In the course of evolution in more specialized forms it may be that individual functions may more nearly be connected with indi- vidual cells or small groups. 440 WILLIAM A.

HILTon Department of Zoology, Pomona College, Claremont, Calif. Some specimens of the genus Grapsicephon of the Bopyridae were obtained from the gill chambers of the common shore crab of Laguna Beach, Pachygrapsus crassipes Rand. One of these was sent to the United States National Museum and there determined to be of the genus here given. Two® specimens were sectioned and mounted in series; one was stained in carmine and one in hematoxylin. Only in the latter speci- men was the poorly developed nervous system distinguished easily from the surrounding tissues. No supraesophageal ganglion was found and the ventral chain of ganglia was imperfectly developed. The whole central nervous system does not exceed one millimeter in length, or a little less than one twelfth the length of the animal. A wax recon- struction was made of the central nervous system showing the loca- tions of the cellular areas. There are at least four ganglia represented in the nervous system, but these are very imperfect and irregular ganglia. Beginning at the cephalic end the ganglion is quite well fused and occupies one third the whole length with no branches for some distance; then there are large irregular branches extending laterad. Next there is a division into something like connectives and other branches extending laterad, although these do not show well in the model, because they seem fused with the other parts. Near the caudal end of the ganglionic mass there are other divisions into connectives and near these, short branches. Altogether, there are six very irregular pairs of lateral branches which could be followed only for a short distance from the central nervous system, and four branches which arise from the caudal end. The distribution of cells is on the whole much like that of other arthropods. Most of the cells are ventral in position, but irregular masses are seen at places on the dorsal side. The cells in many cases seem but poorly developed; the nuclei in some cases are like those of nerve cells, but most of them appear like poorly preserved material, although the general preservation of all parts of the specimen except this was very good. In conclusion, it might be said that the animal has a degenerated central nervous system with indications of at least four ventral fused 26 THE JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY ganglia. Branches are not perfectly formed and cannot be traced very far. Although there were a few striated muscle fibers in the animals, the movements of the living forms were very slight. If there is a dorsal ganglion it is so poorly differentiated as to be indistinguishable from the other tissues of the animal.

A. Lichti during the summer of 1915, and from a small collection brought in during the summer of 1916. The determinations of all but the fifth were kindly made by Prof. W. E. Ritter. Ascidia californica Ritter and Forsythe These simple forms were found quite abundantly under stones and in kelp holdfests. The form of the body was determined largely by the position the animal took on the stone or seaweed. Styela barnharti Ritter and Forsythe The specimens obtained were young, simple, of a redish-brown color and about 4 mm. high. ‘They were found under stones at low tide but not as commonly as some others. Styla montereyensis Dall A single specimen of this large, simple species was taken just off shore. It was slender at the base, expanded near the openings and ot a redish-brown color. Euherdmania claviformis Ritter This slender species was often found in clusters under stones. They were about 2 mm. in diameter and 10-20 mm. long, sometimes free from sand, at other times covered with sand grains. Goodsiria dura Ritter Bright red or orange masses of these were often found in bits of seaweed from deeper water. The individuals were 2 to 3 mm. across and often closely massed on the seaweed or other support. Eudistoma diaphones Ritter and Forsythe This was the common compound species found closely attached to the lower sides of stones. It was often quite extensive but not thick or colored. Eudistoma psamion Ritter and Forsythe Great masses of this tough, pinkish or slightly colored form were found under rock ledges. It resembles one of the sponges in Pomona College, Claremont, California Sl general appearance and is found in among sponges and polyzoans. This was one of the most bulky forms which we found. y Glossophorum planum Ritter and Forsythe Irregular masses of this species were found under rock ledges and under stones. Our specimens are largely covered with sand grains. Distaplia occidentalis Ritter and Forsythe This compound stalked form was found on a rock ledge at low tide near Salt Creek. W.A. H. (Contribution from the Zoological Laboratory of Pomona College) 1917 Pomona College Journal of Entomology and Zoology, Vol. 1X, No. 1, March Notes on Birds of Laguna Beach and Vicinity for 1916 H. H. NININGER In addition to the work done by Mr. Leon Gardener and others on the distribution of birds in the vicinity of Laguna Beach I noted the following species in the summer of 1916: 70. Sturna hirundo (Common Tern) This species was found occasionally about the muddy flats at Balboa. 74. Sturna antillarum (Least Tern) The Least Tern is much more common than the former. ‘They were often seen in small flocks diving for fish along the coast from Laguna to Balboa. They probably nest along the sandy shores; but none of their nests were taken by the writer. 95. Puffinis griseus (Dark Bodied Shearwater ) These birds were found ten to twelve miles from shore, in flocks feeding over schools of fish. They are called by the fishermen “Barracuda Birds.” 210. Rollus obsoletus (Calif. Clapper Rail) Found in the swampy tracts about Balboa. 214. Porzana carolina (Sora Rail) A specimen of this Rail was taken at one of the lakes in Laguna Canyon in the latter part of July. = 421. Chordeiles acutipennis (Texas Night Hawk) Either at dusk or at dawn these birds could be found abundantly, in certain localities, feeding over fields, pools and streams to which they came at dusk, from the hills where they spent the daylight hours. Mr. C. C. White found a pair of young almost ready for flight on one of the hills bordering on Laguna Canyon, July 7, 1916. 425. deronautes melanoleucus (White-throated Swift) Mr. Charles A. Keeler in “Bird Notes Afield” (1889) records this species from Capistrano. To one accustomed to meeting with Pomona College, Claremont, California 21 this bird only among the high and almost inaccessible cliffs of the mountains it is no little surprise to find it in a district so nearly level as the region about this old mission settlement. But surely it is there. A visit to the place in the latter part of July revealed the fact that they are, seventeen years since Mr. Keeler’s writings, still using the same broken walls as a retreat. I think they are nesting at the time we visited the place, for upon the entrance of an adult into one of the crevices there came cries of young birds which seemed to be coming from birds that were being fed. 530a. Astragalinus P. hesperophilus (Green-backed Goldfinch) Common around Laguna and the neighboring hills. Nests with eggs were found, probably the second brood for the season. 634. Vireo vicinior (Gray Vireo) Found along the streams near Capistrano. 685a. Wilsonia pusilla pileolata (Pileolated Warbler) Fairly common in trees along streams near Capistrano. 364. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis (American Osprey) One of these magnificent birds was found on the rocky cliffs bor- dering the shore between Laguna and Balboa. It was seen several times and was reasonably tame. BREEDING NOTES In addition to the nests of the more common birds the following were noted: Several Raven nests on the cliffs bordering the shore and are in Boat Canyon about a mile from the sea were found deserted, but feathers of their owners and the remains of their food betrayed their identity. A brood of Ruddy Ducks was seen on one of the lakes in Laguna Canyon several times. Coots were found breeding about the lakes in abundance. (Contribution from the Zoological Laboratory of Pomona College) 1917 Pomona College Journal of Entomology and Zoology, Vol. 1X, No. 2, June Preliminary List of Birds From the Claremont-Laguna Region This list is compiled from many local sources. ‘The earliest rec- ords of the Department of Zoology of Pomona College were by [lingsworth, later by Chas. Metz, by Leon L. Gardner and others. There is also included the local records of Wright M. Pierce, and Halsted White. The drawings are all from bird skins from the collections of Pierce and White and from the Department of Zoology of Pomona College. The drawings are by Miss Hazel Burnham. For criticisms, suggestions and much valuable material we have especially to thank Mr. Halsted White and Mr. Wright M. Pierce. Grinnell’s “Distributional List of the Birds: of Cali- fornia,’ was used as a basis in the use of the names. In the list the initials after a record or statement denotes the authorship. Unless otherwise indicated the specimens drawn were males. The figures on the last two plates are reduced one-half. Other figures are reduced one-third, the figures of the pelicans, condor and vulture are reduced more. Aechmophorus occidentalis Law. Western Grebe. H.W. Colymbus nigricollis californicus Weerm.
