   note: it has a large air sac, or float, with a sail-like
         crest on its upper side. numerous zooids of different
         kinds are attached to the under side of the float. some
         of the zooids have very long tentacles; some have a
         mouth and digest food; others produce gonophores. the
         american species physalia arethusa is brilliantly
         colored, the float being pink or purple, and bright
         blue; the zooids blue. it is noted for its virulent
         stinging powers, as well as for its beautiful colors,
         graceful motions, and its ability to sail to windward.
