ADDENDUM. 



Since this article was written, the author has studied the structure and 

 formation of the calcareous skeleton in a number of different genera of 

 Anthozoa with the view of deciding the question whether the skeleton of 

 the Scleractiniae is composed of entoplastic spicules as von Heider and 

 Ogilvie assert, or whether it is an ectoplastic product as described by von 

 Koch. The results of these investigations may be briefly summed up as 

 follows : In all the Alcyonaria except Heliopora the calcareous skeleton 

 consists of spicules, a "spicule" being the entoplastic product of a single 

 cell or of a coenocyte. The spicule is covered by a sheath of organic 

 substance, and its axis is traversed by an organic thread or bundle of 

 threads from which other organic threads radiate outwards and are
