Rate of Regeneration. 35^ 



number after "died" is the interval in days between the operation 

 and the time of death. 



A comparison of the rate of moulting in the two series is given 

 in Table V. This table is derived from Tables I to IV and gives 

 the number of male and female individuals which had moulted 

 in each series 95 days, 130 days, and 181 days after the operation. 

 The first column under each moult gives the number of individuals 

 which have moulted, the second the number which have not 

 moulted, the third the number which have died, and the fourth 

 the per cent of the living yv\\\c\\ have moulted. 



The data for the rate of regeneration as derived from Tables 

 I to IV are given in Tables VI and VII. Table VI gives the male 

 individuals of the two series and Table VII the female individuals. 

 In these two tables the individuals are arranged in order of moult- 

 ing, those moulting first being put at the head of the list. The 

 specific amount of regeneration (Sp. Amt.) is the amount per unit 

 of thoracic length at the end of the first moult. The specific rate 

 of regeneration (Sp. Rate) is the amount of regeneration per unit 

 of thoracic length per day. 



EXPLANATION OF TABLES. 



Series A = Series with right chela alone removed. 



Series B = Series with the two chelae and the last two pairs of walking legs removed. 



In Tables I, II, III and IV the individuals are arranged in order of the thoracic length as determined 

 after the first moult. 



In Tables VI and VII they are arranged in order of the date of the first moult. In Series B the 

 specific amount of regeneration and the specific rate are the averages of these quantities for the two 

 chelae of the individual.
