The jelly-fish has truly wonderful
way of reproducing its species. In
most cases the beginning is an egg,
which, lying on the bottom. produces
a beautiful tree-like growth. The
stree" fastens itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop off and develop into jelly-fish.
The latter in turn lay eggs and the
process is repeated. Most of the very
large species have different way of
reproducing themselves. The egg is
set free in the water and develops into
a pear-shaped larva, which for a while
swims about rapidly, being provided
with hair-like appendages that serve
the purpose of ears. Then the larva
settles down. anchors itself to the bot
tom, increases In size rapidly. and
finally splits up into thin. fiat discs
which swim OF and grow nm into large
jelly-hshes.
