Eecent observations by Goette (No. III.) on Cotylorhiza tuberculata 

 and Pelagia noctiluca have led to the astonishing result, that of the four 

 primary gastral pouches, — although the first pair is of entodermal origin, 

 being produced from diverticula of the archenteron, — the second pair is 

 ectodermal in origin, since it arises by evagination from the ectodermal 

 pharynx.— H.] Consult also Ida H. Hyde, No. VII. 6.— Tkakslators.
