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.
