phyllidia, but wholly devoid of " branchiae." Genus Dennatobranchiis, 

 van Hasselt. 



TRIBE 4. ELYSIOMORPHA. 



Xudibranchia in which the liver ramifies in the integuments and 

 extends into the dorsal papillae. The genital duct is always triaulic, 

 and the male and female orifices are distant (Fig. 105). The gonad is 

 divided into spheroidal hermaphrodite lobules. There are no mandibles, 

 and the radula is uniserial. There is never more than one pair of tentacles, 

 and these are wanting in Alderm and some species of Limapontiu. The 

 otocysts contain each a single otolith.

ORDER 2. Pulmonata, Cuvier. 



Euthyneura with a pallial cavity but no ctenidium. The pallial 

 aperture is diminished by the fusion of the mantle border with the 

 neck, and reduced to a comparatively small contractile orifice at its 

 posterior extremity (Fig. 177, V). The pallial cavity and shell are
