Extract

A study of nineteen species of monotocardian veligers belonging to eight different superfamilies reveals the uniformity of structure of the alimentary tract up to the time of metamorphosis. Results of feeding experiments with nineteen species of unicellular algae show that there is also uniformity in the functioning of the gut.
