The differentiation of tissues and organs also appears to have I cached a higher stage in the Cnidaria, in comparison with the Porifera, in which cnidoblasts have not hitherto been discoveied. Sense cells, in particular, a e found in the ectoderm, and these are not seldom grouped together as specific sense organs. Nerve cells and fibres are also present; the latter often form a deeper layer of fibrous tracts beneath the superficial layer of the ec- toderm, with.
