 | | In fact, the larva of Balanoglossus (the sole representative of the Enteropneusta) was originally described by Muller, under the name of Tornaria, as an Echinoderm larva; and was subsequently more fully examined by Prof. |
 | | In Balanoglossus, as in the echinoderms, it appears that saccular outgrowths of the intestine give rise to the perivisveral cavity and its walls; and, if such be the case, thes mesoblast will be chiefly, if not wholly, represented by diverticula of the alimentary canal. |
 | | Thus in the Choetognatha and echinodermata, and possibly in the Enteropneusta, the perivisceral cavity is a portion of the alimentary cavity shut off from the rest; and, in contradistinction to the Schizocoela, in which the perivisceral cavity is produced by a splitting of the mesoblast, they may be said to be Enterocoela. |
