Recollections - hope sequence is correct but my kilm. Growth of Membranipora membranacea prepared from G. lutumol Thesis, used in classes. Photog. by Mr. Panlevue who is doing a whole series. Budding v. rapid & colony edge grows v. quickly. longer growing edges - do they produce longer zoecia? Yes - G. explained development of polypide from proximal wall & said there is no way of separating polypide & cystid. Initial "mass" of polypide appears at prox. end as an area pulling away from prox. wall this grows & forms area w/ diaphragm from wh. tentacular sheath develops. The funiculus starts out as single strand & gradually separates into several strands. lkewise muscles start to appear. Then rapid dev. of digestive tract v. comes being one of first parts to appear. Polypide ultlimately breaks a membrane to extude tentacles from operculum wh, appears rapidly after diaphragm development out. wh. nervous system starts to develop. Note: white globules (elysacell/keridles) at budding edge of colony.
