Like other Protozoa these forms multiply by dividing into two or more individuals, this process in some being preceded by conjugation, which from its im- portance from a theoretical standpoint needs a few words. Conjugation is the union of two individuals. In many

RMRWPRAT–Elements of comparative zoology (1904) Elements of comparative zoology elementsofcompar1904king Year: 1904 METAZOA. All remaining divisions or groups of animals are united under the name Metazoa for the following reasons: A careful consideration of their structure leads to the con- clusion that in all the body is of appreciable size, and that in each and every one certain portions or organs are specialized for the performance of certain functions neces- sary in the economy of the individual. Thus we find in all reproductive organs which have solely to do with the perpetuation of the species;

Sponges differ from other animals in so many respects that for a long time naturalists were uncertain as to whether they were animals or plants, but this matter has long been settled beyond dispute. There is, however, more ques- tion as to the position of these forms in the Animal Kingdom. They have been regarded as colonial Protozoa, as members of the Coelenterata, and as a distinct group, or phylum, the position given them here. The structure of a sponge

RMRWRKXN–Elements of comparative zoology (1904) Elements of comparative zoology elementsofcompar1904king Year: 1904 230 SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY. There are two subdivisions of Tetradecapods: Isopoda and Amphipoda. In the Isopods (fig. 57) the body is depressed, as in the sow-bug, and the gills are borne under the abdomen. Most of the Isopoda feed upon decay- ing matter, but some have become parasites upon other animals, and have consequently so changed their appearance that one knowing only the adult would never regard them as Isopods at all. But the young settle the question, since before they begin their
