In Ooccidium oviforme from the liver of man and of the rabbit there are only four spores formed, which become sickle- shaped FIG. 151.—Coceidum oniforme from the liver of the rabbit, magnified 550 diarn.

GCELENTERATA (ZOOPHYTES).* Radially symmetrical animals ivith a body composed of cells. They have a body-cavity which serves alike for circulation and digestion (yastrovascidar space). Amongst the Ctclenterata we meet for the first time with organs and tissues composed of cells. In addition to the external and internal epithelium, cuticular, calcareous, and silicious structures, as well as muscles, nerves, and sense-organs are very generally present. On the other hand, the internal'surface of the body is not differ- entiated into organs of circulation and digestion distinct from each other. The vegetative processes are performed by the internal sur- face of the gastric cavity, the gastrovascular space, of which the central part functions as stomach and intestine, the peripheral as vascular system. Tl. Leuckart was the first to recognise the importance of these characters, and made use of them to separate the Polyps and the Meduscc from the Echinoderms, thus resolving Cuvier's type of Radiata into the types of Ccelenterata and Echinoderm
