1. A phylum or subkingdom of animals, one 
of the prime divisions of Metazoa, containing 
aquatic and almost invariably marine animals 
with a distinct enteric cavity opening by a 
mouth and communicating freely with the gen- 
eral body-cavity (whence the name). This gen- 
eral cavity is known as an enteroceele, in distinction from 
an intestinal canal proper. The walls of the body are sub- 
stantially composed of two layers, an inner or endoderm, 
and an outer or ectoderm. Thereare no traces of a nervous 
system, except in certain medusa!, and there is no proper 
blood-vascular system. Peculiar stinging-organs, thread- 
cells, cnidae, or nematocysts are very generally present 
(In all the Cnidaria or cislenterates proper), and in most 
cases the arrangement of parts or organs is radiate, as is 
especially observable in the disposition of tentacles around 
the mouth. Reproduction is usually sexual, distinct gen- 
erative organs being present, and ova and spermatozoa 
being discharged by the mouth ; but multiplication also 
takes place by budding and fission. The Coslentera prop- 
er, or Cnidaria, are divided into the two great classes of 
Actinozoa and Hydruzoa, including all the sea-anemones, 
corals, acalephs, medusas, etc. In a wider sense, the 
sponges and ctenophorans are also included. 
2. A lower series or grade of metazoic ani- 
mals including the Porifera or sponges and 
Nematophora or calenterates proper: used in 
distinction from Coelomata, which covers all

kester. [Little used.] Ccelentera nematophora,

thread-cells. See Cnidaria, Nematophora. Ccelentera
