 Planorbis corneus (Fig. 89, g) there is a single respiratory lobe, with 

 a richly vascularised surface, and in Aiifiiliift there is a similar

 the sub-genera Isldora, Pulmobranchia, etc., and in Miratesta there 

 is a folded branchia. In Siplwnarut the long plicated branchia

 character. This branchia is situated more posteriorly and to the 

 right than the ctenidium of monobranchiate Gastropods (Fig. 174). 

 The diverse characters of the respiratory apparatus of Gastropoda 

 may be advantageously summed up in the following table :
