Inside the gastric cavity there project four gastric ridges with longitudinal muscular bands extending from the foot or point of attachment to the base of the oral cone. When the polyp, which has now become a Scyphis- toma, has under favourable conditions of nutrition reached a certain size (about 2 to 4 mm.), ring-like constrictions are formed at the
