Abstract
The mesogloea of Scyphozoa (Cymrea and Chrysaora) differs from that of Anthozoa in having higher elastic compliance, in having a broad distribution of retardation times, and in that creep recovery is very slow. In the second of these properties the scyphozoan mesogloea resembles simple polymeric gels.Keywords
