NEMATOCYSTS.
The following quotations from Prof. J. Leidy, op. cit, may serve as an introduction to a study of the figures here given of the
...nematocysts found in Astrangia. He says : " The filiferous capsules (nematocysts) of A. astrceformis are of two principal varieties. The first variety consists of oval or ovoidal cells .05 mm. long by .0155 mm. broad, containing a spirally-wound thread. . . . The second variety consists of smaller cells, those of the tentaculse measuring about .045 mm. by .0067 mm. and those of the white cords .03 mm. by .0112 mm. ; and they contain besides a spirally-wound thread a style extending from one pole to about the centre of the cells.
