“The colonies of these singular creatues are in the form of a cartilaginous tube, open at one end. In the walls fo this tube, formed by the coalescence of the mantles of the animals composing it, the bodies of the Ascidians are seperately imbedded, the branchial chamber of each passing completely through the wall from its outer to its innner surface.” — Goodrich, 1859
