Towards the surface these cells are covered by a cortical 

 layer, this consists of oval roundish cells forming a more or 

 less dense cover. Above the cross-walls of the cells, where these,

because of their roundish shape, leave some space open, some 

 larger cells are found (Fig. 390 F) and from these larger cells 

 smaller ones are given off growing out over the surface of the

The diaphragms consist of a single or two layers of cells ac-
