Under these circumstances they go through active migrations. In Sertularia 

 pumila the generative zooid is a reduced medusoid gonophore ; the ova arise in the 

 endoderm (? from wandering ectoderm cells) of the branch or stem below the spot 

 from which the gonangial bud springs, wander through the endoderm of the blasto- 

 style and gonophore, pierce the supporting lamella, and ripen in the ectoderm of the 

 gonophore. The generative zooid of S. abietina requires investigation.

51. FRESH- WATER SPONGE (Spongitta lacustris)) 



From the Isis, growing on the wall of a lock, with Figure 12, illustrating the structure of 



Euspongia offtcinalis. 



THIS specimen, like the preceding Hydroid (Prep. 50), is plant-like in 

 appearance, consisting, as it does, of a base of attachment and two upright 

 stems arising close together. Spongilla lacustris often attains a large size. 

 Owing to its having been preserved in spirit, this specimen has the surface 

 more fenestrated than in the living condition ; its protrusible oscula or
