Long-stalked solitary animals. Loxosoma singulars Kef., L. neapolitanum Kow. Order 2.—ECTOPROCTA. Bryozoa with anus opening outside the tentacular circlet, This group includes by far the greater number of the Bryozoa; their structure has been especially referred to in the precedent description of the class. The anus always opens outside the ring of tentacles, which are either arranged in a closed circle or on a two-armed horseshoe-shaped lophophore. Sab-order 1. Lophopoda * (Phylactolsemata Allm.). Fresh-water Bryozoa (excepting the marine Rhabdopleura) with horseshoe-shaped lopltophore and epistome. The Lophopoda are mainly distinguished by the bilateral arrangement of the numerous ten- tacles on the two-armed lophophore (fig. 553). There is always present above the mouth a moveable, tongue-shaped process, the epistome, whence the name Plujlactolcemata given by Allman to this sub-order. The zooids are usually of considerable * size, and, as opposed to the marine Bryozoa, they are all alike (, there is no polymorphism). The cells frequently com- FIG. 552. — Pediceiiina Hiunicate with each other and give rise to echinata. Te, Tentacu- ramified, or more spongy massive stocks of lav crown ; O, mouth ; .
