Abstract
WE are indebted to Prof. Polimanti for directing our attention to his previously published observations on the swimming of cuttlefish. We have not access to the journal in which his work was published, so, unfortunately, have not at the time of writing been able to read it. We felt that so obvious a feature in the swimming of the cuttlefish must have been seen before; being unable to find any reference to it, we published an account in the hopes that the information might eventually find its way into English text-books, in which the use of the siphon, in cuttlefish Swimming is given as only for backward darting.
