 lamina extending to the opening of the oesophagus; crown of 

 inner tentacles at base of the incurrent siphon; opening of phar- 

 ynx into oesophagus; pharyngeal ridges terminating in the 

 peripharyngeal ridge and converging toward the cesophageal 

 opening; volute-shaped adneural gland and, above it, the gan-

 removed the tunic, transversely a little way below the si-

 siphons, looking into the pharyngeal cavity. Label body wall; 

 pharynx; peripharyngeal cavity; pharyngeal ridges, peripharyn- 

 geal groove; vibratile tubercle; ganglion; endostyle; dorsal lami-
