THE ROSY ANEMONE. 53 



cavity. One may sometimes also discern fragments of the 

 same filaments, which have become accidentally detached, 

 driven to and fro at the tip of the interior of the tentacle. 

 The proper ciliary motion of these twisted atoms combining 

 with the motion produced by the lining cilia of the tentacle- 

 wall, gives them the fitful vacillating action of spontaneous 

 volition ; so that they may readily be mistaken for living 

 worms accidentally imprisoned. The acontia are emitted 

 from the pores of the body in great profusion upon irri- 

 tation. The form and armature of their cnidce do not differ 

 from those in the species last described.
