With the publication of the data here presented the series of experiments that I have carried out on Tubularia for several years may be considered as temporarily brought to a close. I take this opportunity therefore to sum up the evidence bearing on the problem of the formative factors of regeneration, as exhibited by this hydroid. In the course of my experiments tentative hypotheses have been proposed here and there that have at least served to suggest further experiments. The conflicting evidence sometimes inclined me towards one point of view, sometimes towards another; yet, all in all, the same general line of thought, if sometimes vague, can be traced through the attempts to analyze the results. It will be my endeavor here to bring more into the foreground those theoretical deductions that seem to me at present to be best in harmony with the experimental evidence...
