(1 X 880; 2 X 200; 3 X 410; 4, 5 X 705; after Thaxter, 1908.) transverse divisions in both segments. The distal cell gives off a variable number of branches, the future primary appendage. Longitudinal divi- sion sets in until there is a massive clavate structure terminated by a tuft of the primary appendage (Fig. 247, 1 to 3). A more rapid growth at the base of this appendage causes the wall cells of the region to arch out forming a cavity within (Fig. 247, 4). As the cavity enlarges, secondary appendages begin to grow upward and inward from the inner surfaces.
