THE LOCOMOTION OF LIMAX

II. VERTICAL ASCENSION WITH ADDED LOADS.

Abstract

In Limax the lifting of additional loads during vertical ascension does not alter the law of linear proportionality between speed and frequency of pedal waves, or that between speed and dimensions of the single waves; for equal velocities of progression these quantities are the same, regardless of the mass lifted. The pedal organ of the slug, although under the control of central impulses, is thus essentially an independent effector.
