In the young larvae of ctenophora, the dorsal vessel 
is a lone, contractile tube open only at its two extrem- 
ities. It consists of a homogeneous substance contain- 
ing nuclei themselves contractile, and its anterior 
portion floats freely in the bloody fluid; the posterior 
portion, on the contrary, is clothed with a layer of con- 
tinually budding cells which become attached by proto- 
plasmic prolongations to the walls of the body and 
form the primitive pericardiac sinus; the place where 
the lateral orifices of the dorsal vessel are going to be 
formed is indicated by a region of more energetic con- 
tractions. The last segment is entirely filled with 
tracheal tufts which interlace behind so as to form a sort 
of sieve behind the orifice of the dorsal vessel. Hence 
the blood is entirely oxidized as it passes through the 
last segment, and before the appearance of the lateral 
orifices the heart is entirely arterial. A. fi 
‘* To recapitulate, I have shown; 1° that the heart of 
insects is, at first, a simple tube, open only at its two 
extremities; 2° that, so long as there are no lateral 
orifices, the heart is entirely arterial; 3° I have indicated 
the mode of formation of the lateral orifices and of the 
pericardial sinus.” G: Ds, Kazr)
