Abstract
THE freshwater medusa Limnocnida tanganyicae has been known for more than seventy years from the lakes of East, West and Central Africa. Until very recently, no evidence had been found for the existence of a hydroid stage, and it was generally considered that development must proceed from the egg through some larval form direct back to the medusa, which can also reproduce asexually by budding.
