Such species have no intes-tine, no anus, and are said to be anenterous. In others, he believesthe so-called stomachs to be appended to an alimentary canal {Poly-gastria eiiterodela Ehr.) : which canal may be bent into a loop, anddescribe a circle, with the anus opening near the mouth, as in Vor-ticella {Jig. 12.) ; or it may pass in a straight line through the axisof the body, as in Enchelis; or form several flexuous curves in itspassage from the mouth to the opposite extremity of the body, as inLeiicophrys {Jig. 13.). But sometimes, as in the Kolpoda, neitherthe mouth nor anus is terminal in
