Now, these horny branches represent the homes of innumer- able little organisms, for in each of the tiny cups on opposite sides at one time lived a little animal which, in all essential points of structure, was exactly like the little hydra we captured 106 Some Nature Biographies from the pond. In short, these brown moss-like or seed-weed- like structures are really the skeleton remains of a colony of tiny hydrae or polypes. And from each little cup a minute polype once put forth its delicate t...entacles to search the sur- rounding water for still smaller prey, the poisoned stinging threads of its tentacles paralyzing tiny animalcules and making their capture easy ; in short, the feeding process was just the same as we have seen the fresh-water hydra carrying on. In fact, the whole of the organism is merely a collection of hydrae which only differ from their fresh-water relative in that the new hydrae when they bud out, instead of becoming detached, remain permanently united, and so build up a common branch, the body cavity of every individual organism opening into the central or main branch, and in this way a connection is kept up amongst them.
