Anatomy of the internal organs of a female gasteropod, viewed from the dorsal side. The roof of 

 the mantle cavity has been divided by a longitudinal incision and the flaps laid out, that on the left 

 bearing the ctenidium andosphradium, and that on the right the rectum and terminal part of the 

 oviduct. The muscular dorsal wall of the body and the introvert have been divided so as to brins; 

 into view the anterior part of the alimentary canal and a portion of the nervous system. The 

 buccal cavity has been tilted up and opened so as to show the odontophore, and the esophagus has 

 been cut through near the anterior end. A portion of the ventral wall of the crop has been removed 

 so as to bring the internal folds into view, and the interior of the nephridium with the contained 

 portion of the intestine has been exposed. The stomach is not seen, being hidden by the neph- 

 ridium, and the ovary is not represented, an., anus ; ant. aort., anterior aorta ; ar., auricle ; hue.,
