It may be folded in- wards, as we have noticed, and, according to some, it also lines the incurrent or afferent canals in whole or in part. In a few cases, , Oscarella lobularis, it is ciliated, and its cells may also exhibit con- tractility, as around the osculum of Ascetta cla- thriis, though the con- tractile elements usu- ally belong to the meso- glcea. The endoderm con- sists typically of collared flagellate cells, but in the more complex sponges these are replaced, ex- cept in the flagellate or without 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 Thomson, J.
