The genus Microporella as well as the genus Escharina may serve as examples of such a variable development of the two heterozoœcial forms.Ibid. 46 We can distinguish between four main forms of individuals (Bryozooids):..Heterozoœcia (*Heterozooids), which have no intestinal canal, and at most have a trace of a polypide in a small cell-body, furnished with a circle of fine bristles. The chamber contains a strong muscular apparatus for moving the operculum.1959L. H.
