The ner- vous system is in the form of a ling surrounding the gullet and send- ing branches in a radiating manner to different parts of the body. One of the most characteristic j)oints about the Echinoderms is their mode of development. In most cases, namely, the embryo is a little ov:d body covered all over with cilia ; but in the course of growth the ciiia become restricted to transverse bands or to definite outgi-owths of the body. The enibiyo is now often somewhat coni- ad or pyramidal in shajje, with long prr>jecting processes, and may be sup|iorted by a provisional inteiiial .skeleton (tig. 60). An ali-.
