Order I. Hydroida (attached). 



Many of the jelly-fishes originate as buds from an at- 

 tached zoophyte known as a hydroid. To become familiar 

 with the different forms of the young of the Hydrozoa, it 

 is necessary to be able to identify these animals. 



The lixed hydroids are algae-like organisms, simple or 

 branching, with soft or hard axis. They are solitary or 

 social, and give rise to medusae by budding or by proc- 

 esses resembling fission.
