 partments by partitions. Class Anthozoa 



4 (i, 7). Animals of the medusa type, solitary, free-swimming. 5 



5 (6). With a velum and of simple structure. Class Hydrozoa 



6 (5). Without a velum, and more complex in structure, usually with 

 highly branching gastrovascular canals. Class Scyphozoa 



7 (i, 4). Complex floating colonies containing both hydroid and medusa 

 types of individuals. Class Hydrozoa; Order Siphonophora

 divided into segments. 2 



2 (3). Free-living, ciliated forms, without suckers. Class Turbellaria 



3 (2). Parasitic, not ciliated; with at least one sucker, often more, often 

 hooks in addition. Class Trematoda 



4 (i). Without mouth or digestive tract; nearly always very long and

 suckers. Class Chaetopoda 2 



2 (3). Bristles numerous, generally on lateral outgrowths, the parapodia. 



Subclass Polychaeta 



3 (2). Bristles few, set directly into the body wall; no parapodia. 



Subclass Oligochaeta

V. Phylum Echinodermata 



1 (8). With a well-developed skeleton of calcareous ossicles or plates; 

 usually spiny; radial; no tentacles. 2
