endopleurite. . . . The fiidopteurite . . . divides Into 
three apophyses, one descending or arthrodlal, and two

part which is culled the 
protopodite, and both are 
variously modified in dif- 
ferent parts of the body 
of the same animal. The 
eplpodlte may Iwcome a 
Rill, etc. The endopodite 
becomes in the thoracic 
region an ambulatory 
limb, and is then the ordi- 
nary "leg" or "claw" of 
a crab or lobster. When 
thus fully developed, it 
consists of 7 joints. These 
are the coxopodite, ba- 
sipodite. Ischlopodite, 
meropodite, carpopodite, 
propodite, and dactylopodite, named from base to tip of 
the leg, in Milne-Edwards's and Huxley's nomenclature.

dopodite are the sixth and seventh of its joints, namely, 
the propodite and its movahly apposable dactylopodite.

On the other hand, the inner or emlopoditic division of 
the antenna becomes Immensely lengthened, and at the 
same time annulated, while the outer or exopoditlc divi- 
sion remains relatively short, and acquires its character- 
istic scale-like form. Huxley, Craynsh, p. 218.

endoskeleton (en-do-skel'e-ton), n. [NL., < 
Gr. Ivdov, within, + sitf/fTov, a dry body: see 
skeleton.'] In anat., the internal skeleton or 
framework of the body; the whole bony, chi- 
tiuous, cartilaginous, or other hard structure 
Segment of Endoskeleton from Thoracic Region of Crocodile. 
C, centrum of a vertebra, over which rises the neural arch, inclosing 
the neural canal and ending in .VS. the neural spine ; Z. prezrga- 
pophysis; Z , posuygapophysis : Tt, transverse process which articu- 
lates with t, tubercle of a rib ; Cft, that which articulates with C/,

1'r , cartilaginous part of same ; Sfr, sternal rib, or hemapophysis; 
St, segment of sternum ; /X uncinate process of a rib or epipleura. 
From Cft to St, on either side, is the hemal arch. 
which lies within the integument, and is cov- 
ered by flesh and skin, as distinguished from 
the exoskeleton. In man and nearly all other mammals 
it constitutes the whole skeleton. In invertebrates the 
term covers any hard interior framework supporting soft 
parts, as the apodemal system of arthropods, the cuttle of 
a squid, etc. The endoskeleton of vertebrates is divisible 
into two independent portions : the axial endoduletm, 
belonging to the head and trunk, and the appemticvlar 
tndotieltton, to the limbs. The axial endoskeleton con- 
sists of the entire series of vertebral and cranial segments, 
Including ribs, breast-hones, hyoid bones, and jaws. The 
appendicular endoskeleton consists of the bones of the 
limbs, regarded as diverging appendages, and Inclusive of 
the pectoral and pelvic arches (shoulder- and hip-girdles), 
by which these appendages are attached to the axial ele- 
ments.

M. PolMon has further attempted to show that this 
force of fndtamoitf may be considered as a particular modi- 
fication of capillary at tiun. Whficett. 
endosmosis (en-dos-mo'sis). n. [NL., < Gr. h- 
Aov, within, + uafi6f, impulsion, < utitiv, push, 
thrust, impel.] The transmission of a fluid 
inward through a porous septum or partition 
which separates it from another fluid of differ- 
ent density : opposed to exosmosif : see osmosis. 
The general phenomenon of the Interdlffnsion of fluids 
through se]>ta, including both endosmoils and exosmoiis. 
Is termed ouwnuuu or ostrwtii, but etuioewori* Is also used 
in this sense. The phenomena differ from diffusion prop- 
er in being affected by the nature of the septum. Elec- 
trical endosmosls, the cataphoric action of the electric 
current ; the passage of an electrolysed liquid through n 
diaphragm from the anode to the cathode. Borne of the 
laws of the phenomenon have been made out, although it 
Is not fully understood. The amount which passes Is pro- 
portional to the Intensity of the current ana to the spe- 
cific resistance of the liquid, and is Independent of the area 
and thickness of the diaphragm. The hydrostatic pres- 
sure required to present the phenomenon is proportional 
to the thickness and inversely as the area of the dia- 
phragm. 
endosmosmic (en-dos-mos'mik), a. An incor- 
rect form for endosmotic or endosmic. 
endosmotic (en-dos-mot'ik), a. [< endosmotis 
(-osmot-) + -ic.] Of or pertaining to endosmo- 
sis ; of the nature of endosmosis. Also endos- 
mic. 
Root-pressure Is probably a purely physical phenome- 
non, due to a kind of endogmotic action taking place in the 
root-cells. Begtty, Botany, p. 174. 
Endosmose is Independent of any interchange, since it 
results entirely from the attraction of the dissolving sub- 
stance for the solvent ; and this attraction is invariable at 
the same temperature, and may be termed nidotinotic force. 
Sochi, IJotany (trans.), p. 597. 
Endosmotic equivalent, the number expressing the ra- 
tio of the amount by weight of water which passes through 
a porous membrane into a saline solution to that of the 
amount of salt passing in the opposite direction.

means of endosmosis ; in an endosmotic man- 
ner.

in, + aa/ia, body.] The innermost part of the 
body of a sponge, composed of endoderm and 
its associated deep mesoderm, exclusive of the 
choanosome : distinguished from both choano- 
some and ectosome. 
In some sponges a part of the endoderm and associated 
mesodenn may likewise develop Independently of the rest 
of the sponge, as in the Hexactinellida, where the choano- 
ome forms a middle layer between a reticulation of ecto- 
some on the one side and of endodenn and mesoderm, 
1. e., tndotvme, on the other. Eticyc. Brit., XXII. 415. 
endosperm (en 'do -sperm), n. [< Gr. Ivoov, 
within, + axfpua, seed.] In bot., the albumen 
of the seed; the substance stored in the ovule 
or seed about the embryo for its early nour- 
ishment. By recent authors it is limited to the deposit 
formed within the embryo-sac. In some seeds, as of the 
Cannatf<e, there is an additional deposit within the testa, 
but outside of the embryo-sac, which is distinguished as 
the ptrisperm. .lee albumen, 2, and cut under epuperm. 
The macrospore of these plants gives rise to a small cel- 
lular prothallmm bearing one or more archegonla, which 
in the Rhlzocarpa extends beyond the limits of the spore, 
but does not become free from it; ... in the Phanert> 
. gams, where it Is termed the rndotperm. It remains perma- 
nently . . . enclosed. Kncye. Brit,, XX. 430.

Their further history baa been traced out by Kirchner ; 
who found that their fuospores'J germination commenced 
in February with the liberation of the spherical rndotpore 
from its envelope. W. B. Carpenter, Micros., 240. 
2. In bacteriology, a spore formed within a cell, 
as distinguished from artlirospore. 
Also endosporium.

of spores Inclosed within sporangia, and Includes all of the 
order except one genus, which is referred to the Exogpona. 
It comprises 42 genera grouped under 14 so-called families.
