Such a primitive element may have been furnished by any one of three different skeletal parts, the sagittal ring, the basal tripod, and the latticed cephalis (compare pp.
There are also numerous true Monocyrtida, whose shell consists of a simple latticed cephalis without a trace of the sagittal ring or basal tripod (Cyrtocalpida, Pl.
Botryodea#, and characterised by a multilobate cephalis (cephalis multilocularis).
Very often, however, the primary cephalis disappears owing to retrograde metamorphosis; and in such cases the single joint of the apparent Monocyrtida is formed of the thorax (e.
Stichocyrtid shells are those in which the primary cephalis remains simple, and new joints are successively added to its basal pole; such shells occur in the majority of the #Cyrtoidea#.
In the multiradiate Dicyrtida and Tricyrtida the cephalis (the first joint) is usually bilateral, whilst the thorax (the second joint) is multiradial.
Here it is usually enclosed in the cephalis and is spherical, ellipsoidal or spheroidal, often flattened almost into a disc.
Many of these show as the basis of the skeleton a strong basal tripod with an apical spine, around which the cephalis has obviously been secondarily developed, e.
The cephalis alone with the enclosed quadrilobate central capsule, which is surrounded by numerous xanthellae.
The dorsal wall is visible, in the cephalis the cruciform frontal septum.
Cephalis more enlarged, with the enclosed four-lobed central capsule.
Vertical section through the cephalis and the quadrilobate central capsule, with the quadrilobate nucleus.
Cephalis alone, with the enclosed four-lobed central capsule, and the internal four divergent beams; surrounded by some scattered xanthellae.
Cephalis pear-shaped, with few scarce pores, and a small conical horn of half the length.
Cephalis subspherical, rough, with a short and broad conical horn of half the length.
Cephalis small, subspherical, with few scarce pores, and a stout, pyramidal horn, of the same length.
Cephalis hemispherical, with a stout pyramidal horn of twice the length.
Cephalis small, spherical, with a bristle-shaped horn of the same length.
Cephalis subglobular, with a spindle-shaped papillate horn twice the length.
Cephalis subspherical, small, completely hidden in the thickened top of the thorax (but very distinct in the longitudinal section).
Cephalis conical, with an oblique curved horn of the same length.
Cephalis with three, four, or more horns, a primary occipital, a secondary frontal, and one or more accessory parietal horns.
Its homology with the original cephalis of the #Spyroidea# cannot be doubted, when its base exhibits the typical basal pores of the Semantida.
Cephalis nearly cubical, with irregularly roundish pores; two or three pairs of larger pores on each side of the ring.
Cephalis flat, cap-shaped, half as broad as the slightly constricted, not tubular mouth.
Cephalis nut-shaped, bilobed, of the same breadth as the cylindrical thorax.
Miss Cephalis blushed like a carnation at the sight of Mr Escot, and Mr Escot glowed like a corn-poppy at the sight of Miss Cephalis.
Miss Cephalis blushed like a carnation at the sight of Mr. Escot, and Mr. Escot glowed like a corn-poppy at the sight of Miss Cephalis.
The next arrival was that of Mr. Cranium and his lovely daughter, Miss Cephalis Cranium, who flew to the arms of her dear friend Caprioletta.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cephalis" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
