I. 145., has another imitation: "Exceptus gladio parvulus impio, Dum currit patrium natus ad osculum, Immatura focis victima concidit."

This custom appears to have been very general in past times, and Mr. Henderson suggests that “it may possibly be a dim memorial of the osculum pacis, or the presentation of the Pax to the newly-married pair.”

He introduced in his church the primitive custom of the “osculum pacis” and the “agape” celebrated as a common meal with broth.

If the single type theory were driven to its logical conclusion, it would be necessary to select one particular polyp in a hydroid colony, or even the part of a sponge that surrounded a particular osculum as the type of the species to which the hydroid or the sponge belonged.

The simplest form of sponge, which is known as an olynthus, is a hollow vase-like body fixed at one end to some solid object, and with an opening called the osculum at the other.
