A man of far-reaching influence, Agassiz had attracted many talented young men to the Lawrence Scientific School, and most of them played a prominent role in promoting the study of natural history, including the Georgian Joseph LeConte, who became a leading geologist, and John McCrady, a South Carolinian who earned a place as a pioneer in hydrozoan zoology.

In various other hydrozoan species, however, physiological studies have shown that cnidocytes receive synaptic input from neurons and sensory cells in the tentacle (Thurm et al, 1998b, 2004; Price and Anderson, 2006; Oliver et al, 2008) and, moreover, function as primary sensory receptors for mechanical (Brinkmann et al.
