   note: each species exists in two distinct forms, one of which
         lives solitary, and produces, by budding from an
         internal organ, a series of the other kind. these are
         united together, side by side, so as to form a chain,
         or cluster, often of large size. each of the
         individuals composing the chain carries a single egg,
         which develops into the solitary kind.
