The epitlielio-iuuscular cells (Fig. 40, A) sire the most numerous uml consist of columnar colls, one extremity of which bears a cilium and helps to form the outer surface of the body, while the other is prolonged into a somewhat spindle-shaped process of highl}' contractile muscular substance. The muscle-cells (Fig. 40, Ji) are modi- fications of these, having lost their connection with the surface of the body, the cell-protoplasm and nucleus form- ing a small elevation on the muscle- libre. The muscle-Hbres rest upon the outer surface of* the mesoghea, and in the ectoderm are, as ji rule, arranged longitudinally, so that by their contraction they cause a shortening or retraction of the polyp. The nerve- cells are of two kinds: (1) sensory cells (Fig. 40, ('), which are slender cells whose free end bears a single cilium, while the inner end is produced into one or more slender nerve-proc- es.ses which are supi)osed to place these cells in connection with (2) the ganglion-cells. These are stellate cells lying in the deeper layers of the ectoderm, just external to the muscle- cells, and sending off delicate processes in various directions so as to form a i)lexus of nerve-fibres ramifying through the ectoderm. The mesogkra is thin and more or less fibrous in structure, and rarely contains cells. The endoderm-cells are large and are of the epithelio-muscular variety, the muscle-fibres hav- ing a circular arrangement producing by their contraction a diminution of the diameter of the polyp. The proto])lasmic portion of each cell is furnished with a single flagellum and is digestive in function, taking food-pa
