Plate III. 



Fig. 25. Urolabes Glosocapsarum, n. sp., female, l-54th of an inch long ! 

 a, anterior portion ; 6, caudal portion ; c, c, buccal dilatation and 

 oesophaj^us ; d, muscular sheath of the latter ; e, point of union 

 of oesophagus with intestine ; /, intestine ; g, hepatic organ ; 

 h, rectum ; i, anus. The male is the same as the female, with 

 the exception of the tail being a little shorter, and the addition 

 of the penis. 



Fig. 26. Urolabes labiata, n. sp., female, l-40th of an inch long : a, ante- 

 rior portion, the head bearing two papillae ; b, caudal portion ; 

 c, apparatus apparently connected with the exsertion and retrac- 

 tion of the cesophagus (seen also in figs. 25 and 27). The other 

 parts having been indicated in fig. 25, will not require repetition. 



Fig, 27. Urolabes tentaculata, n. sp., female, l-23rd of an inch long : 

 a, anterior portion, the head bearing two tentaculiform prolonga- 

 tions ; b, caudal portion. 



Fig. 28. Urolabes cirrata, n. sp., female, l-73rd of an inch long : a, ante- 

 rior portion, the head bearing two short linear cirrhi j b, posterior 

 extremity. 



Fig. 29. Urolabes erythrops, n. sp. (marine), female, l-20th of an inch 

 long : fl, anterior portion ; by caudal portion ; c, peritoneal sheath 

 of cesophagus ; (?, globular dilatation and double post-oesophageal 

 constriction of the peritoneal sheath, partly lined with the hepatic 

 organ ; e, ocelli ; /, caudal portion of male ; g, penis. 



Fig. 30. , Urolabes infrequens, n. sp. (marine), female (a little larger and 

 longer than the foregoing) : a, anterior portion ; b, caudal por- 

 tion ; c, peritoneal sheath of oesophagus ; d, post-oesophageal 

 globular form of the peritoneal sheath ; e, ocelli (?) ; /, caudal 

 end of male ; g, penis ; h, gland. 



Fig. 31. Urolabes ocellata, n. sp. (marine), female, l-23rd of an inch long : 

 a, anterior portion, the head bearing four cirrhi ; b, caudal portion j 

 c, ocelli ; d, caudal end of male ; e, penis. 



Fig. 32. Urolabes barbata, n. sp. (marine), female, l-7th of an inch long : 

 fl, anterior portion, the head bearing four cirrhi ; b, caudal portion ; 

 c, pointed, apparently exsertile end of oesophagus in buccal 

 dilatation ; d, ocelli ; e, caudal end of male ; /, penis. The two 

 globular bodies (d), in this as well as in fig. 30, although in situ- 

 ation and appearance exactly like those of figs. 29 and 31, are 

 colourless, or only yellowish ; and therefore I can only infer that 

 they are ophthalmic organs.
