Examples

• The medus are often termed the Acaleph—a word which signifies nettles, and they are popularly known as sea nettles.

• It exists occasionally in considerable numbers on the internal surface of some Acaleph of the ocean and of the Mediterranean.

• Perhaps they too act like the venomous matter produced in the thread-capsules of the Acaleph.

• The color of this pretty Acaleph varies from a greenish hue to green, with a faint tinge of red, or to a reddish brown.

• And throughout considerable portions of their bodies, some of the Acaleph exhibit more or less distinctly this type of structure.
