The arrangement of the mesogloea fibres of Pelagia noctiluca is described chiefly from material examined in the fresh state. The role of the mesogloea in swimming is shown to be the antagonization of the subumbrellar circumferential muscles. The fibres of the mesogloea are shown to be collagenous by their contraction on heating, their amino-acid composition, and their appearance under the electron microscope. A suggestion is made to account for the characteristic arrangement of the fibres at a distance from the cellular layers.

The review focuses on chloride-binding structures in the proteins of bacteria, plants, viruses and animals. The structure and amino acid composition of the chloride-binding site and its role in the functioning of structural, regulatory, transport, receptor, channel proteins, transcription factors and enzymes are considered. Data on the important role of chloride-binding structures and chloride anions in the polymerization of fibrin are presented.
