Subsequently I had the wished-for opportunity of tracing the development of a _Hyperia_ which is not uncommon upon Ctenophora, especially _Beroë gilva,_ Eschsch.

This developmental archetype was manifested in, for instance, _Sagitta_,[424] _Rana_,[425] _Lymnæa_,[426] _Astacus_,[427] _Phoronis_,[428] _Asterias_,[429] _Ascidia_,[428] the _Ctenophora_,[428] and _Amphioxus_.[428] He noticed also that the invagination-opening often became the definitive anus.
