In these the mouth is pushed inwards, so asto form a tube; the body-cavity is divided by partitions,called mesenteries, which consist of mesogloea covered with endoderm; the reproductive cells are derived from this endoderm and are set free into the body-cavity whence they pass to the exterior through the mouth. The Scyphozoa (Cup-animals) comprise the larger jelly-fishes. Some place them with the Hydrozoa, which they 44 GUIDE TO THE FOSSIL INVERTEBRATE ANIMALS.
