Their forms are as varying as their species. Conceive an ellipsoidal 
body, transparent as a crystal, whose walls are adorned with a 
spiral staircase, interrupted at each turn, and showing within its 
transparent substance five or six round eggs of a saffron yellow. 
Such is the ovary capsule of a Polypier bryozoa, or of a Plumu- 
laria pluma. 
The Campanulariide possess male and female branches, the one

(Dredged up from 40 fathoms depth, off Cape Finisterre.) 
bearing cells in which are developed eggs, the other exhibiting 
male capsules ornamented with elegant tentacule. But by far 
the most curious phenomenon of generation is exhibited by the 
polypier hydra, a process which naturalists call the generation of 
Meduse (see engraving, page 104). It appears that at a certain 
time of the year, some of the Campanulariide, the Syncorine, &c., 
have a rupture out of which issues a black liquid. This is a 
bud which in time becomes covered with a transparent cushion, 
which increases rapidly and begins to exhibit traces of an in-
