 logically repeat one another, either actually or homo- 

 logically." (Allman.) "The introduction of the 

 term zooid into the language of zoology is of very re- 

 cent date. This term is intended to indicate each of 

 the distinct organisms which, with various degrees of 

 independence, express, when taken together, the total 

 result of the development of a single ovum. It is a 

 valuable addition to our terminology, enabling us to 

 avoid the ambiguous sense which attaches itself to the 

 word individual when this word is used in its biologi- 

 cal signification as the logical element of a species."
