1751 I^PE. HISTORY OF GORDIUS AND PARAGORDIUS—MA 7 55 



The epithelium of the cloacal gland at the time of the formation of the 

 adult cuticula develops projections in which the cells appear like buds on 

 central stalks. (Fig. 163.) 



In specimens that have deposited their eggs the cells become shriveled 

 and the body cavity contains only the nerve cord, a very small intestine, 

 and the parenchyma membranes, which now have all taken more or less 

 a dorso-ventral position and tend to flatten the body in that direction 

 (Fig. 103).
