All figures from preparations of Paludicella Ehrenbergii. 



Fig. 42. Cross section of branch of age of Figure 37, Plate IV., to show origin of 

 primary parietal muscles. X 410. 



Figs. 43 and 44. Successive sections through a polypide slightly older than that 

 of Figure 25, cut perpendicularly to the long axis of the branch. Dur- 

 ing this period the lophophore becomes more nearly circular, and its 

 aboral ends meet oralwards of the rectum, rt. Figure 44 is nearer the 

 tip of the branch. X 410. 



Fig. 45. Axial section of neck and atrial opening of polypide just sufficiently devel- 

 oped to be capable of extrusion. Shows the collare setosum in place. 

 X 410. 



Fig. 46. Section of communication plate cut across the branch. Two sections 

 (10 ju) above Figure 51. X 635. 



Figs. 47-49. Three stages in the development of the communication plates. Lon- 

 gitudinal sections of the branch. In Figure 47, the polypide has 

 reached the stage of Figure 22 ; in Figure 48, the stage of Figure 23 ; 

 and in Figure 49, the stage of Figure 24. X 635. 



Fig. 50. Longitudinal section through neck of young polypide, showing the sink- 

 ing of the neck below the general surface of the body, and the method 

 of forming the inner cuticula of neck. X 390. 



Fig. 51. Cross section of branch through communication plate. The left side 

 of the section includes the cuticula and the underlying flat ectodermal 

 layer. The right side cuts a little lower into the mesodermal cells.
