Sat. Sept. 29 Prepared slides made 10 yrs ago, using Hemalum stain. Nuclei stain red, muscle green, vesicular leucocytes pink, spherical leucocytes bright green, polypidea red brown, walls translucent blue. - this was for Electra millosa - two colours would change for other species - however, nuclei would always stain red. As you go through focus see nuclei in muscle. "Leucocytes" are simple polyarchaeida cert. to G.L. muscle is striated; certainly all parts of digestive tract muscle are striated. After questioning she did perhaps wonder if sphincter muscle & tentacular sheath muscles may not be smooth. Again certainly all retractor muscles etc. are striated. Polypidea in Avicularium Bugula This consists of 2 pouches - the atrium & stomadeum; polypidea does not go beyond 1st stage of differentiation when it is in avicularium. Noted. muscles in beak & also finer muscles opening operculum of beak.
