Note 3 — LECTURE XXI

J. Arthur (John Arthur) Thomson translation

New investigations, specially directed to this point, by R. Godelmann, have shown that 'in the great majority of cases' the regenerated legs of a Phasmid (Bacillus rossii) exhibit a four-jointed tarsus; but the regeneration of five joints also occurs, though only after autotomy, and only in seven out of fifty cases (Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik, Bd. xii, Heft 2, July 1901). The regeneration-rudiment in this species seems to be in process of advancing slowly to the five-jointed type.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
