definite structural similarities, such as a pronounced spinosity in the case of the young, 

 and the occurrence among masses of large individuals of much smaller examples lighter 

 in color with persistent juvenile features, are especially worthy of investigation. 



Two myzostomes (see part 2, p. 685) have been described from it, Loxosomella 

 and Truncatulina have been found attached to it, and fragments of an encysted crus- 

 tacean have been found on sections through the disk. What this last is has never been 

 determined, and we know nothing of any other parasites.
