512 BIOLOGY. 



absorbent cyst or a pharynx, which nevertheless takes up 

 the food in the same way that the tegumental lymphatic 

 vessels absorb. We can therefore style these animals 

 pharyngeal or gastric, although the name is not per- 

 fectly correct Infusoria. Then the intestine associates 

 with the pharynx or stomach, so that they are Intestinal 

 animals Polyps or Corals. 



Lastly the intestine sends out absorbents, and then 

 the animal consists of pharynx or stomach, intestine and 

 absorbents ; such may be termed an Absorbent animal 

 Acaleplice. 



The Intestinal animals therefore divide according to 

 the developmental stages into three Classes. 



Class 1 . Gastric, Vitelline Animals. 



3150. The lowest animals commence with the water, 

 which has scarcely become mucus ; they are nothing but 

 drops, vesicles, which swim about independently Pro- 

 tozoa or Primitive animals. 



3151. The Protozoa correspond to the vitellus or the 

 male semen, which is nothing but vitellus in a state of 

 solution. They are the animal semen of the planet, the 

 animal dissolved. Animal generation cannot take a 

 deeper commencement or origin. The stone, which is 

 decomposed into carbon mixed with water, can become 

 nothing less than a point. They are the animal germi- 

 nal powder. The fungus is a tissue of vesicles, which 

 dissolves directly into seeds fungus-powder or dust. 

 Thus, they are ovaria or testes which have dissolved into 

 seed, fluid testes Vitelline, Seminal animals. 



3152. The vitellus or semen is point- or nerve-mass 

 dissolved. The Vitelline animals are sentient or nerve- 

 points, which have combined all other processes in this 

 identical mass. The divided point-mass ranks, however, 

 in the signification of vesicular or ceUular tissue. These 

 animals are nervose cells. 



3153. Nerve-cells must originate in every water, 

 because every water is in a state of tension with the 

 earth and the air ; thus, dissolves the former and absorbs
