A single pair of nephridia is present, opening into the posterior chamber of the coelom by funnel-like mouths, and to the exterior on each side of the anus. They serve not onl}' for excretion, but also as ducts for the reproductive elements. The various species of Phoronis, with the possible exception of P. architeda, are hermaphrodite, the ova and spermatozoa developing from cells of the peritoneum lying in the vicinity of the pouched longitudinal blood-vessel. They are shed from their place of formation into the coelomic cavity and thence pass to the exterior through the Fio. 118.—Mbtamorphobih of Actinotrocha (after Mrtscrnikopp from BALrocR). in = itivagiiintion. Development of the Phoronidce.—In their development the various species of Phoronis so far as known undergo a very remarkable metamorphosis. The larva which develops from the ovum is known as Actinotrocha (Fig. 113, ^) and is a some- what elongated structure possessing at the anterior end a large hood which overhangs the mouth, its edge bearing.
