- Chilopoda - n. pl. - One of the orders of myriapods, including the centipeds. They have a single pair of elongated legs attached laterally to each segment; well developed jaws; and a pair of thoracic legs converted into poison fangs. They are insectivorous, very active, and some species grow to the length of a foot.
- Neuroma - n. - A tumor developed on, or connected with, a nerve, esp. one consisting of new-formed nerve fibers.
- Neomorph - n. - A structure, part, or organ developed independently, that is, not derived from a similar structure, part, or organ, in a pre existing form.
- Neuter - a. - Having no generative organs, or imperfectly developed ones; sexless. See Neuter, n., 3.
- Heelspur - n. - A slender bony or cartilaginous process developed from the heel bone of bats. It helps to support the wing membranes. See Illust. of Cheiropter.
- Neuter - n. - An organism, either vegetable or animal, which at its maturity has no generative organs, or but imperfectly developed ones, as a plant without stamens or pistils, as the garden Hydrangea; esp., one of the imperfectly developed females of certain social insects, as of the ant and the common honeybee, which perform the labors of the community, and are called workers.
- Thermoelectrometer - n. - An instrument for measuring the strength of an electric current in the heat which it produces, or for determining the heat developed by such a current.
- Colorado group - - A subdivision of the cretaceous formation of western North America, especially developed in Colorado and the upper Missouri region.
- Zygobranchia - n. pl. - A division of marine gastropods in which the gills are developed on both sides of the body and the renal organs are also paired. The abalone (Haliotis) and the keyhole limpet (Fissurella) are examples.
- Chromatophore - n. - A contractile cell or vesicle containing liquid pigment and capable of changing its form or size, thus causing changes of color in the translucent skin of such animals as possess them. They are highly developed and numerous in the cephalopods.
- Clasper - n. - One of a pair of male copulatory organs, developed on the anterior side of the ventral fins of sharks and other elasmobranchs. See Illust. of Chimaera.
- Dynamometer - n. - An apparatus for measuring force or power; especially, muscular effort of men or animals, or the power developed by a motor, or that required to operate machinery.
- Notochord - n. - An elastic cartilagelike rod which is developed beneath the medullary groove in the vertebrate embryo, and constitutes the primitive axial skeleton around which the centra of the vertebrae and the posterior part of the base of the skull are developed; the chorda dorsalis. See Illust. of Ectoderm.
- Symbolism - n. - The practice of using symbols, or the system of notation developed thereby.
- Heteropoda - n. pl. - An order of pelagic Gastropoda, having the foot developed into a median fin. Some of the species are naked; others, as Carinaria and Atlanta, have thin glassy shells.
- Gonotheca - n. - A capsule developed on certain hydroids (Thecaphora), inclosing the blastostyle upon which the medusoid buds or gonophores are developed; -- called also gonangium, and teleophore. See Hydroidea, and Illust. of Campanularian.
- Embryo - n. - The young of an animal in the womb, or more specifically, before its parts are developed and it becomes a fetus (see Fetus).
- Trionyx - n. - A genus of fresh-water or river turtles which have the shell imperfectly developed and covered with a soft leathery skin. They are noted for their agility and rapacity. Called also soft tortoise, soft-shell tortoise, and mud turtle.
- Shorthorn - a. - One of a breed of large, heavy domestic cattle having short horns. The breed was developed in England.
- Trochosphere - n. - A young larval form of many annelids, mollusks, and bryozoans, in which a circle of cilia is developed around the anterior end.
- Mesonephros - n. - The middle one of the three pairs of embryonic renal organs developed in most vertebrates; the Wolffian body.
- Virile - a. - Having the nature, properties, or qualities, of an adult man; characteristic of developed manhood; hence, masterful; forceful; specifically, capable of begetting; -- opposed to womanly, feminine, and puerile; as, virile age, virile power, virile organs.
- Theurgy - n. - A kind of magical science or art developed in Alexandria among the Neoplatonists, and supposed to enable man to influence the will of the gods by means of purification and other sacramental rites.
- Catskill period - - The closing subdivision of the Devonian age in America. The rocks of this period are well developed in the Catskill mountains, and extend south and west under the Carboniferous formation. See the Diagram under Geology.
- Fluxion - n. - A method of analysis developed by Newton, and based on the conception of all magnitudes as generated by motion, and involving in their changes the notion of velocity or rate of change. Its results are the same as those of the differential and integral calculus, from which it differs little except in notation and logical method.
