dc.description.abstract | In the coelenterate seapen colony, Leioptilus guerneyi, two types of minute spicules have been found; these give the characteristic chitosan tests indicative of chitin. Chitin is essentially unknown in the Anthozoa. The definition of the order Pennatulacea requires the addition of chitinous spicules to the calcareous spicules already described for the group. | |
