area ; no coelome ; a pair of nephridia ; hermaphrodite. Loxosoma, non-colonial ;

 overhanging the mouth ; fresh-water ; Cristatella, Pectinatella, Lophopus, Alcyonella, 

 Plumatella, Fredericella. 



2. Gymnolaemata. Lophophore orbicular; no epistome; marine with the 

 exception of Paludicella. 



i. Cydostomata. 'Cell mouth,' i.e. aperture left when tentacle-sheath is 

 retracted, not guarded by an operculum or processes ; zooecia tubular ; most 

 genera are fossil ; e. g. Crisia, Diastppora, &c. 



ii. Ctenostomata. ' Cell-mouth ' guarded by seta-like processes ; zooecium 

 never calcareous ; stem and root-cells often present ; e.g. Alcyonidium, Vesicularia 

 (=. Valkerid], Paludicella, &c. 



iii. Cheilos tomato, . 'Cell-mouth,' guarded by a thickened and moveable 

 operculum ; oral area to a great extent membranous ; ova usually matured in 

 ooecia; avicularia and vibracula often present; e.g. Aetea, Scrupocellaria, Flustra,
