    Mechnikov considered the plate thus formed at the base of the polyp as equivalent to the umbrella, and the body of the polyp as equivalent to the manubrium, of the medusa; on this view the marginal tentacles almost invariably present in medusae are new formations, and the tentacles of the polyp are represented in the medusa by the oral arms which may occur round the mouth, and which sometimes, e.g.

    166

    Medical treatment must be sought soon after exposure because death invariably follows once the infection becomes established.

    173

    Notwithstanding the zeal and ability which he had invariably displayed as foreign minister, it had long been felt by his colleagues that his eager and frequent interference in the affairs of foreign countries, his imperious temper, the extreme acerbity of his language abroad, of which there are ample proofs in his published correspondence, and the evasions and artifices he employed to carry his points at home, rendered him a dangerous representative of the foreign interests of the country.

    On the Guinea Coast the spirit implanted in the object is usually, if not invariably, non-human.

    182

    184

    One after another all the cardinal doctrines were challenged by writers who were generally acute, and almost invariably vituperative.

    189

    Other newts, and many salamanders, whether terrestrial or aquatic, pair, the male embracing the female about the fore limbs or in the pelvic region, and the males of such forms are invariably devoid of ornamental secondary sexual characters; but in spite of this amplexation the same mode of fecundation by means of a spermatophore is resorted to, although it may happen that the contents of the spermatophore are absorbed direct from the cloaca of the male.

    Partial attacks were invariably costly failures.

    193

    Pasteur established (I) that the corpuscles are the special characteristic of the disease, and that these invariably manifest themselves, if not in earlier stages, then in the mature moths; (2) that the corpuscles are parasites, and not only the sign but the cause of the disease; and (3) that the disease manifests itself by heredity, by contagion with diseased worms, and by the eating of leaves on which corpuscles are spread.

    194

    217

    Since one cannot have everything, seed makers invariably will make trade-offs that might be different than what I would make.

    218

    Since yachts are invariably costly to purchase and maintain it is important to have adequate insurance coverage to make sure that the vessel remains serviceable.

    219

    227

    Sulphuretted hydrogen, which is invariably present in commercial acetylene, is formed by the decomposition of aluminium sulphide.

    228

    That the wings invariably strike forwards during the down and up strokes in aerial flight is proved alike by observation and experiment.

    229

    230

    The action is not properly understood; it may be due to the reducing gases (hydrogen, hydrocarbons, &c.) which are invariably present in wood charcoal.

    231

    239

    The Calends, (or Kalends) were invariably the first day of the month, and were so denominated because it had been an ancient custom of the pontiffs to call the people together on that day, to apprize them of the festivals, or days that were to be kept sacred during the month.

    240

    The ceiling is invariably boarded and subdivided by ribs into small rectangular coffers.

    242

    The concern of the essays in Featherstone's volume is to disentangle the various threads that such questions invariably conflate.

    270

    The mass-loss from these objects is invariably very inhomogeneous which has important implications for stellar wind dynamics.

    The steelwork for a building of any considerable size is almost invariably rolled to order.

    290

    The sub-umbrella invariably shows a velum as an inwardly projecting ridge or rim at its margin, within the circle .of tentacles; hence the medusae of this sub-class are termed craspedote.

    The system of farming out the revenues is admitted, and is almost invariably followed in the case of the tithes.

    293

    Their habits are very similar to those of agoutis, but when pursued they invariably take to the water.

    301

    Then, again, the shape of the eye, as modelled by the lids, shows a striking peculiarity, For whereas the open eye is almost invariably horizontal in the European, it is often oblique in the Japanese on account of the higher level of the upper corner.

    302

    There are no tides, and usually only a slight current towards the outlet, though powerful currents are temporarily produced by the rapid return of waters after a storm, and during the height of a westerly gale there is invariably a reflex current into the west end of the lake.

    303

    There is thus a broad resemblance to the Eudrilidae, to which group of Oligochaeta the Hirudinea are further akin by reason of the invariably unpaired condition of the generative apertures, and the existence of a copulatory apparatus (both of which characters, however, are present occasionally in other Oligochaeta).

    304

    These applications, however, never proved successful; he invariably found that his advisers "possessed not what they professed."

    305

    309

    They are almost invariably fluent speakers; with many of them oratory seems to be a natural gift; it is also carefully cultivated.

    310

    They exhibit in an exaggerated form the irregularities of distribution visible in our zodiacal constellations, and present the further anomaly of being frequently reckoned as twenty-eight in number, while the ecliptical arcs they characterize are invariably twenty-seven.

    311

    They invariably disappear before the adult stage is reached, but their presence in the larva is evidence that the ancestral mollusc possessed a pair of true nephridia quite distinct from the coelomic excretory organs, which are so characteristic of existing forms in the adult condition.

    312

    They invariably wished us well in very fulsome terms and in some cases they even said 'God Bless ' !

    321

    This special alloy does not occur in any known iron ores, but is invariably found in meteoric iron.

    322
