| Title | Manuscript, 'Note on excretion in sponges' by George Bidder |
| Creator | Bidder; George Parker (1863-1954); British marine biologist |
| Date | 1892 |
| Description | Bidder writes: 'In a review of Mr Dendy’s work on the Homocoela, I briefly described (p. 628) the “flask-shaped” or “glandular” epithelium, which I believe to form the most common external covering in all groups of sponges. On p. 631 are shortly mentioned certain other granular cells, believed by Metschnikoff to be mesodermal, and by Dendy to be the dwelling place of symbiotic Algae; I proposed the neutral name of “Metschnikoff cells.”'
