Though we cannot expect, in spirit specimens, to demonstrate by 
direct observation the presence of an epistome, we may yet take 
for granted that Rhabdopleura, like all other polyzoa with hippocre- 
pian lophophores, is provided with this organ, and belongs to the 
Order Phylactolaemata. Its structure, however, is so peculiar as to 
justify us in assuming it as the type of a special section of the 
Order, which may be thus divided — 
f Scutata , Rhabdopleura. 
Polyzoa Phylactolaemata < ’ r 
l Inermia , Cristatella, Plumatella, &c.
