II.— ANATOMY, EMBRYOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY, 
AND GENERAL.

Garstang (1) considers that the possession of pharyngo-cloacal slits in 
Aseidians is due to the pressure of the water in the branchial sac, and 
that the modification of the branchial sac seen in Salpa is a case of the 
inheritance of an acquired character. 
HerdmaN gives the details of the mimicry ” of Lept&clinum macu * 
latum by Lameliaria perspicua , and describes the occurrence of Polycarpa 
glonierata and some other Aseidians at the South end of the Isle of 
Man. 
Ritter describes a Tornaria which he found off the South coast of 
California, and which possesses a band of high epithelium extending 
along the floor of the oesophagus which may be considered functionally 
at least as an endostyle. 
Garstang (2) follows up Ritter’s paper by enunciating the view that 
the Echinoderma , the Enteropneusta , and the Chordata were derived 
from a common auricularia-like ancestor. The Chordata derived from 
this primitive form retained the bilateral symmetry. The circumoral
