118 (i. 436). Syn-aacidia and Echinoderms. The Corm-theoiy 

 of Echinoderms, which I explained in 1866 (" Generelle Mor- 

 phologie/* vol. ii. p. liiii), and which has been much attacked as 

 " paradoxical," is as yet the sole theory attempting the genetic 

 explanation of this remarkable gronp of animals.

 Amphioxus and of Simple Ascidians" (" Memoires de I'Acad. de

120 (i. 450). The metameric structure of the Amphioxus 

 \v'hich is indicated in its nerve and muscle systems, undoubtedly 

 sliows that the notochord exists in Vertebrates previous to their 

 metameric structure, and consequently that it is inherited from 

 nnarticulated Chorda Animals. 



121 (i. 454). The Metamorphosis of the Amphioxus, through 

 which the larva passes into the adult form, is not yet fully 

 known in all its details. This does not, however, affect the 

 extraordinarily important bearing of the thoroughly known, 

 earliest incidents in its germination on the palingenesis of Verte- 

 brate*.
