Each individual radiolarian consists of two portions of colouredor colourless sarcode—one portion nucleated and central, the otherportion peripheral, and almost always containing certain yellowcorpuscles. These two portions are separated by a membrane calledthe capsule ; but this is so porous as to allow of their free communi-cation with each other. The inner central capsule is also the special \.
