 6, proximal nectocalyx ; c, aperture of distal nectocalyx; rf, somatocyst; c, pro- 

 longation of the distal nectocalyx, by which it is attached to the hy<lro8oma; 

 /, point of attacbment of the hydrosoma in the cavity, or hydrcecium, of the proxi- 

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

 distal nectocalyx, with its muscular velum. 



which are traversed by canals which unite, pass through the 

 pillars, and open into the central cavity of the umbrella.*
