Tangential sections bring out the extreme simplicity and thinness of the zooecial walls and the absence of acanthopores. Mesopore- like spaces are present in such sections, but these are usually young zooecia. At the surface of the zoarium such spaces are practically wanting, the zooecia being regularly polygonal and in contact on all sides. The semidiaphragms, which in vertical sections are noted to frequently curve slightly downward, are seen in tangential sections where they appear as a more or less curved line crossing the 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 United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
