Unfortunately embryology gives us no data for this purpose, because the re- searches of Kowalevsky f and Lacaze-Duthiers \ upon this subject do not thoroughly exhaust the question and are in contradiction to each other. We must therefore treat this question quite a priori. Very probably the directional septa of the Actiniee are the first formed ; they will probably be arcMsepta; and this postulate is to a certain extent confirmed by the fact that the directional septa undoubtedly correspond to the four longitudinal muscles of the Scyphistoma.
