 Vei-tebres." Vol. ii., Ascidies, 1816. Giard, "Recherches sur 

 les Synascidies." "Archives de Zoologie Experimentale," vol. i.,

118 (i. 435). Syn-ascidia and Echinoderms. The Conn-theory 

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

 phologie," vol. ii. p. Ixiii), and which has been much attacked as 

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

 explanation of this remarkable group of animals. 



119 (i. 442). Kowalevsky, "History of the Evolution of the 

 Amphioxus and of Simple Ascidians" ("Memoires de 1'Acad. de 

 S. Petersbourg." 7 Serie. Tom. x. and xi. 1867-8). 



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

 which is indicated in its nerve and muscle systems, undoubtedly 

 shows that the notochord exists in Vertebrates previous to their 

 metameric structure, and consequently that it is inherited from 

 unarticulated Chorda Animals. 



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

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

 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- 

 brates.
