cobb: deaconema 149 



The adult female of Draconema cephalata is unknown. Females 

 of other undescribed species show the vulva as central and the 

 internal female organs double, symmetrical and refiexed, the 

 rather short ovaries reaching well back towards the vulva. The 

 eggs in these other species are usually prolate and thin-shelled, 

 and few in number, generally only one in each uterus, and appear 

 to be deposited before segmentation begins. 



Habitat. Marine algae, or sand at their base, shoal in King- 

 ston Harbor, Jamaica; also the strand of a small island off Port 

 Royal, Jamaica.
