zooids may be described here. A Diphyzooid is a frag- 

 ment of a Calycophore which has an independent life. 

 Two forms of Diphyzooids have been found in Narragan- 

 sett Bay. They are known as Eudoxia Lessonii and Di- 

 plophysa inermis. 



Diplophysa inermis. This species is the diphyzooid of 

 Monophyes gracilis, and in the cycle of development we 

 have, according to Chun, stages corresponding with the 

 following genera : 



1. Monophyes. 



2. Muggisea. 



3. Diplophysa. 



Monophyes has not yet been recorded from New Eng- 

 land. Muggisea has been taken once or twice.
