The following is a convenient method of expressing the composition of the anthocodial 
armature: The pairs of spicules of the point are denoted by “P” if large and strong, and by “p” if 
small and weak; those of the pseudo-crown by “Cr”; and the supporting bundle by the letters 
“S. B.” preceded by a qualifying adjective, such as weak, medium, very strong, etc. In this 
way the anthocodial grade and formula of D. annectens , for example, can be set forth briefly as: 
II. = 8 p + o Cr + very weak S. B.
