A New Function Of The Vascular Ampullas In The Botryllidae (1899)

By Frank W. Bancroft

""A New Function Of The Vascular Ampullas In The Botryllidae"" is a scientific book written by Frank W. Bancroft and published in 1899. The book focuses on the study of the Botryllidae, a family of colonial tunicates, and their vascular ampullas. Bancroft presents a new theory about the function of these ampullas, which were previously thought to be involved in the circulation of water through the colony. He argues that the ampullas also play a role in the transport of food particles and waste products, and provides detailed observations and experiments to support his hypothesis. The book is intended for a scientific audience and includes technical language and diagrams to illustrate the author's findings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
