 protoplasm, which is radially striated in the cortical zone; v, spherical vacuoles enclosed 

 by the protoplasm ; n, the spherical nucleus in the centre ; I, the concentric nucleolus ; 

 /, the radial pseudopodia which pierce the calymma or the (yellowish) jelly-envelope of 

 the central capsule and arise from the granular sarcomatrix.
