It contains the chief digestive space from which radial canals run on the sub- umbrellar surface to a ring canal in the margin of the umbrella. The radial canals are usually four in number, but in some species the number is increased during growth even to a hundred or more. Manubrium and canals are lined by entoderm, which also extends into the tentacles and forms their 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 Hertwig, Richard, 1850-1937; Kingsley, J.
