The pores or inhalent openings so cha- racteristic of the Sponge body are in reality only intercellular spaces, and are able to close themselves, vanish and be replaced by new pores, which arise by the separation of one cell from another (fig. 161). * Upon this ground Clark declared the Sponges to be nearly allied to the , and regarded them as great colonies of the latter.
