Fig. 22.— A, Diphyes appendiculata.—a. hydranths and hydrophyllia on the hydrosoma ; 

 b, proximal nectocalyx ; c, aperture bf distal nectocalyx; d, somatocyst; e, pro- 

 longation of the distal nectocalyx, by which it is attached to the hydrosoma; 

 /, point of attachment of the hydrosoma in the cavity, or hydroecium, of the proxi- 

 mal nectocalyx. B, the distal nectocalyx with the canal (through which the bris- 

 tle a is passed), which is traversed by the hydrosoma in A. C, extremity of the

which are traversed by canals which unite, pass through the
