 shown natural size, with their subcordate prominent cushion 

 considerably upraised, and containing faint traces of an almost 

 central scar, within which is a slightly elongate vascular cicatrice 

 placed near its lower margin. Immediately below this upraised 

 cushion, and attached as it were to its outer side, is a triangular 

 ndge-Iike elevation containing a small pit. That this small pit 

 is situated on the lower margin of the raised cushion is proved 

 by the fact that the rhomboidal areas and scars increase in size 

 as we recede from this end of the specimen. At b is ^iven an 

 enlarged drawing of one of these areas to show the parts more 

 clearly. The "field" is indicated by the a, the prominent

 at c, whose vascular cicatrice is placed slightly below the centre
