Zoophytology to a place in the system of nature more nearly                    connected 

with Molluscan   types。        Some   of   them  come so   near to the        compound 

ascidians that they have been termed�察�as an order�察             �Zoophyta ascidioida。; 

     The simplest form of polype is that of a fleshy bag open at one                  end�察�

surmounted by a circle of contractile threads or fingers               called tentacles。 

The plate shows�察�on a very minute scale�察�at              figs。 1�察�3�察�and 6�察�several of 

these    little  polypiform     bodies    protruding     from    their  cells。   But    the 

Hydra or Fresh´water Polype            has no cell�察�and is quite unconnected with 

any   root   thread�察  �or   with  other   individuals   of   the   same   species。    It   is 

perfectly   free�察  �and   so   simple   in   its   structure�察  �that   when   the   sac   which 

forms     its  body    is  turned    inside   out  it  will  continue    to  perform    the 

functions     of    life   as  before。     The    greater    part�察 �however�察    �of   these 

Hydraform         Polypes�察     �although     equally    simple     as   individuals�察   �are 

connected      in  a   compound        life  by  means     of  their  variously    formed 

POLYPIDOM�察�as the            branched system of cells is termed。           The Hydroid 

Zoophytes are       represented in the first plate by the following examples。 

       HYDROIDA。 

       SERTULARIA ROSEA。               PL。 I。 FIG。 6。 

     A species which has the cells in pairs on opposite sides of the               central 

tube�察�with the openings turned outwards。             In the more      enlarged figure is 

seen   a   septum  across   the   inner   part   of   each   cell which   forms   the   base 

upon which the polype rests。           Fig。 6 B     indicates the natural size of the 

piece of branch represented�察�but           it must be remembered that this is only 

a small portion of the       bushy shrub。 

       CAMPANULARIA SYRINGA。                    PL。 I。 FIG。 8。 

       This    Zoophyte      twines     itself  parasitically    upon     a   species    of 

Sertularia。     The cells in this species are thrown out at irregular            intervals 

upon     flexible   stems   which    are   wrinkled    in  rings。    They     consist    of 

lengthened�察�cylindrical�察�transparent vases。 

       CAMPANULARIA VOLUBILIS。                    PL。 I。 FIG。 9。 

       A still more beautiful species�察�with lengthened foot´stalks ringed                at 

each end。      The polype is remarkable for the protrusion and                contractile 

power of its lips。     It has about twenty knobbed           tentacula。 

       POLYZOA。

       Among   Polyzoa   the   animal's   body   is   coated   with   a   membraneous 

covering�察     �like   that   of   the   Tunicated      Mollusca�察     �but   which     is   a 

continuation of the edge of the cell�察�which doubles back upon the                    body 

in such a manner that when the animal protrudes from its cell                   it pushes 

out the flexible membrane just as one would turn inside                out the finger of 

a   glove。   This   oneness of   cell   and   polype   is  a  distinctive   character  of 

the   group。    Another      is  the  higher   organization      of  the  internal   parts。 

The mouth�察�surrounded by           tentacles�察�leads by gullet and gizzard through 

a   channel   into   a  digesting   stomach�察  �from   which   the   rejectable   matter 

passes upwards        through an intestinal canal till it is discharged near the 

mouth。       The     tentacles   also  differ  much     from   those   of  true  Polypes。 

Instead     of being fleshy and contractile�察�they are rather stiff�察�resembling 

spun glass�察�set on the sides with vibrating cilia�察�which by their              motion up 

one side and down the other of each tentacle�察�produce a                   current which 

impels     their  living   food   into  the   mouth。     When     these    tentacles    are 

withdrawn�察     �they   are   gathered    up   in  a  bundle�察   �like  the   stays    of  an 

umbrella。      Our Plate I。 contains the following examples             of Polyzoa。 

       VALKERIA CUSCUTA。 PL。 I。 FIG。 3。 

       From a group in one of Mr。 Lloyd's vases。               Fig。 3 A is the natural 

size of the central group of cells�察�in a specimen coiled round a                  thread´ 

like   weed。     Underneath       this  is  the   same    portion   enlarged。       When 

magnified to this apparent size�察�the cells could be seen in             different states�察�

some closed�察�and others with their bodies              protruded。     When magnified 

to 3 D�察�we could pleasantly watch the            gradual eversion of the membrane�察�

then the points   of the  tentacles       slowly appearing�察�and   then�察�when  fully 

protruded�察�suddenly        expanding into a bell´shaped circle。           This was their 

usual    appearance�察�but sometimes they could be noticed bending inwards�察�

as    in fig。 3 C�察�as if to imprison some living atom of importance。                  Fig。 

B    represents   two    tentacles�察 �showing     the   direction   in  which    the   cilia 

vibrate。 

       CRISIA DENTICULATA。               PL。 I。 FIG。 4。 

       I have only drawn the cells from a prepared specimen。                The polypes 

are like those described above。 

       GEMELLARIA LORICATA。                  PL。 I。 FIG。 5。

       Here   the   cells   are   placed   in   pairs�察  �back   to   back。 5   A   is   a   very 

small portion on the natural scale。 

       CELLULARIA CILIATA。                Pl。 I。 FIG。 7 

       The   cells   are   alternate   on   the   stem�察  �and   are   curiously   armed   with 

long   whip´like   cilia   or   spines。   On   the   back   of   some   of   the   cells is   a 

very     strange    appendage�察      �the   use    of   which     is   not   with    certainty 

ascertained。      It   is   a   minute   body�察  �slightly   resembling   a   vulture's head�察�

with    a   movable     lower    beak。     The    whole     head   keeps    up   a   nodding 

motion�察     �and   the   movable     beak    occasionally      opens    widely�察   �and   then 

suddenly snaps to with a jerk。            It has been seen to hold an           animalcule 

between      its  jaws    till  the  latter   has   died�察  �but   it  has   no    power     to 

communicate the prey to the polype in its cell or to               swallow and digest it 

on its own account。          It is certainly not an       independent parasite�察�as has 

been supposed�察�and yet its purpose in              the animal economy is a mystery。 

Mr。   Gosse   conjectures   that   its    use   may  be�察  �by   holding   animalcules   till 

they    die   and   decay�察  �to   attract    by  their   putrescence     crowds     of  other 

animalcules�察      �which    may     thus    be   drawn    within    the  influence     of  the 

polype's   ciliated     tentacles。     Fig。   7   B   shows   the   form   of   one   of   these 

;birds' heads�察─     �and fig。 7 C�察�its position on the cell。 

       FLUSTRA LINEATA。               PL。 I。 FIG。 1。 

       In   Flustrae�察   �the  cells   are   placed    side   by   side   on   an   expanded 

membrane。        Fig。 1 represents the general appearance of a species                which 

at least resembles F。 lineata as figured in Johnston's work。                    It is spread 

upon a Fucus。        Fig。 A is an enlarged view of the          cells。 

       FLUSTRA FOLIACEA。                PL。 I。 FIG。 2。 

       We figure a frond or two of the common species�察�which has cells on 

both    sides。    It  is  rarely   that  the   polypes    can   be   seen   in  a  state   of 

expansion。 

       SERIALARIA LENDIGERA。                   PL。 I。 fig。 10。 

     NOTAMIA BURSARIA。                  PL。    I。 fig。 11。 

       The   ;tobacco´pipe;;   appendages�察  �fig。   11         B�察  �are   of   unknown    use�此�

they are probably analogous to the birds' heads in the Cellularae。
