Sentences with HYALONEMA (2)
The sponges whose skeletons are thus constructed, and which anticipated so many mechanical contrivances long afterwards devised by man, belonged to a group of silicious sponges (_Hexaclinellidæ_) which is still extant, and represented by many rare and beautiful species of the deep sea, which are the ornaments of our museums, and of which the beautiful Eupleectella or Venus flower-basket, from the Philippine Islands, and the glass-rope sponge (_Hyalonema_), from Japan, are examples.
Both sub-classes are represented in British waters: the Amphidiscophora by _Hyalonema thomsoni_ and _Pheronema carpenteri_; the Hexasterophora by _Euplectella suberea_ and _Asconema setubalense_, and of course possibly by others.
