CHEILAN'THES, Sw. A genus of 

 Pterideae (Polypodiaceous Ferns), nearly 

 related to Adiantum. The marginal lobed 

 indusium is very narrow ; some species have 

 the under surface of the leaves mealy, from 

 the presence of microscopic hairs. 



A large genus ; tropical.

CHEILO'SCYPHUS, Corda. A genus 

 of Jungermanniese (Hepaticae), founded 

 upon Jungermannia polyanthus, L., which is 

 not unfrequent in wet places.

CHEILOSTO'MATA. A suborder of 

 Infundibulate Polyzoa (marine). 



Char. Orifice of cell filled with a thin 

 membranous or calcareous plate, with a 

 curved mouth, furnished with a moveable 

 lip. 



It is divided into two sections, containing 

 numerous families and genera. 



Tribe 1. Articulata. Polyzoarium jointed. 



SALIC ORNARIID^. Polyzoarium erect, 

 cylindrical, dichotomously branched; cells 

 arranged on all sides. 



CELLARIID^:. 



CELLULARIIDJE. Polyzoarium erect, 

 branches flat, linear, cells in the same 

 plane. 



Tribe 2. Inarticulata. Polyzoarium un- 

 jointed. 



EUCRATIIDJE (Scrupariidse). Cells in one 

 row. AETEIDJE. 



GEMELLARIID.^. Cells in pairs opposite. 



CABEREID.E. Branches narrow ; cells in 

 two or more rows, with whips or sessile 

 birds' heads at the back. 



BICELLARIIDJE. As the last, but whips 

 absent, and birds' heads stalked and jointed. 



FLUSTRID.E. Zoarium expanded, folia- 

 ceous, and flexible. 



MEMBRANIPORID^E. Expanded, incrus- 

 ting, stony ; cells horizontal, quincuncial. 

 MICROPORID^:. 



CELLEPORID^E. Massive, globose, in- 

 crusting, or erect, stony; cells vertical to 

 the common plane, irregularly heaped toge- 

 ther. 



Esc H ARID IE. Expanded and leafy, or 

 branching, stony ; cells in the same plane, 

 quincuncial. 



CRIBRILINID^:, MICROPORELLIDJE, 

 MYRIOZOIDJE. 



PORINIDJE. Polyzoarium incrusting, or 

 erect and branched ; cells with a raised 

 tubular or subtubular orifice, and frequently 

 a special pore on the front walls.

 PUS. 



CHEIROS'PORA, Fries. A genus of 

 Melanconiei (Stylosporous Fungi), growing 

 upon the twigs of the beech. The myce- 

 lium spreads under the epidermis, and bursts 

 through in rounded or irregular, conical, 

 black pustules, 1-20'' in diameter, which are 

 composed of a large number of fine filaments, 

 unequal in length, and waved, each termi- 

 nating in a bunch of spores. The heads are 

 formed of chains of spores like a Penicillium, 

 when young, but crowded together more 

 densely as they become more fully developed 

 into a globular or oval head, about 1-7(JO"; 

 the spores about 1-4000". This genus cor- 

 responds to Stilbospora, Montague, J\li/ri<>- 

 cephalum, De Notaris, and, apparently, 

 Hyperomyxa, Corda ; but the latter is said 

 to have a mucous vesicle enclosing the 

 head.

 beam.

 veraceous plants, remarkable for the yellow 

 juice contained in the laticiferous canals.

 doscorpioues (Arachnid a). 



Char. Cephalothorax with a transverse 

 furrow ; eyes 2 ; no tail. 



C. cancroides (PL 53. fig. 12). Brown, 

 palpi stout ; length " In old books, her- 

 baria, etc., and shady places.

 with a small appendage at the last joint ; 

 reddish. 



Many other species.
