The single polyzoon is called & polypide, and its cell a cystid. In Pedicellina, the simplest polyzoon, tlie polypide has no cystid or cell. The cells are, in the marine forms, usually closed, and independent of each other. The wall forming the cell is called the endocyd; it com- prises the ectoderm proper, with a portion (parietal layer) of the mesoderm forming the soft lining of the Fig. \2&.—nalophUa bm-ealis, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Packard, A.
