Sunday Sept. 16. late afternoon 1) G. showed me spherular leucocytes - bunch of spherules whn. look like bunch of grapes. 2) unicular leucocytes - O large droplets also 3) pigments in outer body wall of Scyphoella, 4. Karlies looked at funiculus (strand or bundle of strands) in Bugula. Funicular tissue aggregated around brown body in zoecium. G. thinks there may be 2 kinds of funicular tissue because I take methylene blue readily (ie, material around brown bodies); other strands perhaps more out in body wall of zooid. 5. Funicular tissue at growing bud tip forms maze of granules + strand tissue 6. Funicular tissue - v. fine granular (but without boundaries) - forms before polypide devlops in zooid. Characteristic appearance according to G - we & looked at it in scope 7. B Disintegrating brown polypide appears like 3 brown booties, piled one on top of the other. Char. again acc. to G.
