capsules occur similar to those of the Coelenterata, but these 

 seem to be derived from Hydra, Cordylophora, and other Coelen- 

 terates, which form their food. Adhesive cells with processes also 

 frequently occur in the epidermis. Beneath the epidermis is a 

 basement membrane (b. m.), which in the Polycladida is of a thick 

 resistant character, and contains stellate cells. 



In a small number of the Trematoda three layers are distin- 

 guishable in the integument a homogeneous, or nearly homo-

 absent as such in the adult condition in the majority of the Trema-

 which may be the modified epidermis, or may be the cuticle, with
