Balfour, Francis M. (Francis Maitland)
Embryology; Zoology
DICYEMIDÆ.--The Infusoriform larva (vol. II. fig. 62).
PORIFERA.--(_a_) The Amphiblastula larva (fig. 215), with one-half
of the body ciliated, and the other half without cilia; (_b_) an
oval uniformly ciliated larva, which may be either solid or have
the form of a vesicle.
COELENERATA.--The planula (fig. 216).
TURBELLARIA.--(_a_) The eight-lobed larva of Müller (fig. 222);
(_b_) the larva of Götte and Metschnikoff, with some Pilidium
characters.
NEMERTEA.--The Pilidium (fig. 221).
TREMATODA.--The Cercaria.
ROTIFERA.--The Trochosphere-like larvæ of Brachionus (fig. 217) and
Lacinularia.
MOLLUSCA.--The Trochosphere larva (fig. 218), and the subsequent
Veliger larva (fig. 219).
BRACHIOPODA.--The three-lobed larva, with a postoral ring of cilia
(fig. 220).
POLYZOA.--A larval form with a single ciliated ring surrounding the
mouth, and an aboral ciliated ring or disc (fig. 228).
CHÆTOPODA.--Various larval forms with many characters like those of
the molluscan Trochosphere, frequently with distinct transverse
bands of cilia. They are classified as Atrochæ, Mesotrochæ,
Telotrochæ (fig. 225 A and fig. 226), Polytrochæ, and Monotrochæ
(fig. 225 B).
GEPHYREA NUDA.--Larval forms like those of preceding groups. A
specially characteristic larva is that of Echiurus (fig. 227).
GEPHYREA TUBICOLA.--Actinotrocha (fig. 230), with a postoral
ciliated ring of arms.
MYRIAPODA.--A functionally hexapodous larval form is common to all
the Chilognatha (vol. II. fig. 174).
INSECTA.--Various secondary larval forms.
CRUSTACEA.--The Nauplius (vol. II. fig. 208) and the Zoæa (vol. II.
fig. 210).
ECHINODERMATA.--The Auricularia (fig. 223 A), the Bipinnaria (fig.
223 B), and the Pluteus (fig. 224), and the transversely-ringed
larvæ of Crinoidea (vol. II. fig. 268). The three first of which
can be reduced to a common type (fig. 231 C).
ENTEROPNEUSTA.--Tornaria (fig. 229).
UROCHORDA (TUNICATA).--The tadpole-like larva (vol. III. fig. 8).
GANOIDEI.--A larva with a disc with adhesive papillæ in front of the
mouth (vol. III. fig. 67).
ANURUS AMPHIBIA.--The tadpole (vol. III. fig. 80).
[FIG. 215. TWO FREE STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYCANDRA RAPHANUS.
(After Schultze.)
A. Amphiblastula stage.
B. Stage after the ciliated cells have commenced to be invaginated.
_c.s._ segmentation cavity; _ec._ granular epiblast cells; _en._
ciliated hypoblast cells.]
[FIG. 216. THREE LARVAL STAGES OF EUCOPE PLOYSTYLA. (After Kowalevsky.)
A. Blastosphere stage with hypoblast spheres becoming budded into
the central cavity.
B. Planula stage with solid hypoblast.
C. Planula stage with a gastric cavity.
_ep._ epiblast; _hy._ hypoblast; _al._ gastric cavity.]
