Extract

Several cyphonautes larvae (Polyzoa Ectoprocta) have been distinguished and described (Lohmann, 1911; Marcus, 1940; Thorson, 1946), but few have been seen to metamorphose, thus Unking the late larva with the adult. Three, belonging to the suborder Cheilostomata, which have been observed to do so, are Cyphonautes compressus into Electra pilosa L. (Schneider, 1869; Barrois, 1877; Kupelwieser, 1905–6), Cyphonautes occidentalis into Membranipora villosa, (Robertson, 1908; O'Donoghue, 1927) and an unnamed cyphonautes into Nichtina ( = Membranipora) tuberculata (Hastings, 1929, pp. 706–7).
