"Jelly-Fish, Star-Fish, and Sea-Urchins: Being a Research on Primitive Nervous Systems" by G. J. Romanes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work is centered around the investigation of the primitive nervous systems of jelly-fish and star-fish, exploring their anatomy, physiology, and the results of various experiments conducted over several summers. The author, a prominent zoologist, aims to shed light on the unique characteristics and functions of these marine creatures rather than providing a comprehensive overview of all existing knowledge. The opening of the work introduces the beauty and fascination of jelly-fish and star-fish, emphasizing the author's appreciation for their elegance while justifying his scientific exploration. Romanes shares his personal journey into marine zoology, detailing twelve years of observations and experimentation. He outlines his motivation to understand the fundamental components of their nervous systems, framing the book as both a contribution to scientific knowledge and an invitation to appreciate the splendor of nature through dedicated study. The introduction set the stage for a detailed examination of anatomy and the effects of various stimuli on these creatures, focusing particularly on their locomotor mechanisms and the organization of their nervous systems.
