attenuated, especially the metathorax, which forms about two-thirds 

 the entire length. Smaller individuals with more the jiroportions 

 of C. nifidulum; in one about 70 mill, long, theprothorax measures 

 I2, metathorax nearly 1, abdomen 3 mill, in diameter. Mouth- 

 shield (fig. 16) more convex than in C. nitidulum. Dorsal sense- 

 organ (figs. 25, 26) longer, extending to margin of cloaca, having a 

 wide area of short spicules on each side. Gills like those of nitidu- 

 Imn, but with not quite so many lateral lamellae, scarcely 20 on each 

 side. Tongue covered with a thick cuticle, which on each side of 

 the tooth and a little backwards is strongly thickened, which is not 

 the case in C. nitkhdum. The tooth is almost wholly sunken in the 

 radula sack. Internal structure not difi'ering greatly from C. niti- 

 dulum.
