Gastrotricha, 141. 



Gastrula, — that stage in the develop- 

 ment of an animal from the egg to 

 maturity, which is composed of two 

 layers of cells, the outer layer or ecto- 

 derm and the inner or endoderm ; this 

 latter lines the future digestive cavity. 

 In its primitive state the gastrula arises 

 somewhat as if the hollow, rubber ball- 

 like blastula were pushed in at one side 

 so as to bring the two walls into con- 

 tact, producing thus a two-walled 

 bag, loi ; in brachiopods, 186; in
