. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. 76 DISCOVERY REPORTS leads to the intestine (i) which forms a short loop. The rectum is straight and ends with a two-lipped anus lying level with the transverse bar separating the third and fourth rows of stigmata. Vascular process. A slender vascular process () arises from the left side of the abdomen and passes down below the zooid into the common test of the colony. Some of these processes, but not all, extend down into the stalk of the colony. Gonads. In the compound colony all the zooids were male, but two of the single colonies had both male and female zooids; the third single colony was in degeneration. mm. Text-fig. 20. Sycozoa anomala (St. 929): A, female zooid; B, abdomen of male zooid; C, brood pouch with embryos. The ovary (ov.) lies slightly behind the intestinal loop, but in contact with it, and bulges out from the abdomen to form a small sac-like projection recalling the condition in Distaplia. The ovaries examined contained a group of ova of various sizes. In male zooids the testis (t) is a rosette of six to ten wedge-shaped follicles contained in a projection from the abdomen similar to that accommodating the ovary in female zooids, but generally larger. The sperm duct (), arising from the centre of the rosette, loops back before passing forward beside the rectum (Text-fig. 20 B). Many of the female zooids had well-developed brood pouches (Text-fig. 20 C). These are rather short, strongly coiled, and usually contained from nine to eleven Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
