Summary "The Cubomedusæ" by Franklin Story Conant is a scientific treatise written in the late 19th century. The work is a dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on the biology and anatomy of the Cubomedusæ, a group of jellyfish. Through meticulous research, Conant aims to elucidate the systematic classification and anatomical features of these gelatinous creatures, emphasizing their unique characteristics and developmental processes. At the start of the dissertation, the author introduces the Cubomedusæ and their significance within the biological community, highlighting their rarity and advanced nervous system development. Conant shares personal anecdotes about his research, including discoveries made during fieldwork in Jamaica, where he identified two new species of these jellyfish. This opening portion outlines his methodological approach and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their anatomy, physiology, and ecological conditions, ultimately establishing a solid foundation for the intricate descriptions that follow in the treatise.
