The diam-am rives the section of a larva of this description, which at this period is nothing more than a stomach provided with an orifice (fig. 5 <?) ; its wall con- Fig. c. sists of two strata, or layers of cells. The cells of the external stratum are distinguished from those of the inner one by their elongated form, and the possession of . filaments serving as organs of locomotion. All subse- quent development and differentiation, certainly not very important in the sponges, may be traced to modi- fications of these two membranes ; the external mem- 5
