Other letters as in last. water enters through the ostia (dermal pores) into the incurrentcanals ; thence it passes through the prosopyles (chamber pores)into the ciliated chambers; and from them it passes by the wideapopyles into the gastral cavity and out through the osculum. Thegastral layer, being restricted to the chambers, is discontinuous, asit is in all types of canal system above the first type. Third Tifpe of Canal System.—The third type can be derived fromthe second by a further process of folding of the body wall, givingrise to bays or diverticula of the gastral cavity, into each of whichseveral chambers open tog
