Section 144. In contrast to metameric segmentation is the antimeric

repetition of radial symmetry (Section 142), in which each ray of the

star is called an antimere. It is possible to have bilateral symmetry

without a metameric arrangement of parts, as in the mussel and the

cuttle-fish; but metameric segmentation without complete or reduced

bilateral symmetry does not occur.
