the head arises from one wall, or from the still undifferentiated meso- 

 dermal bands. The absence of the mesenteries in the head of Poly- 

 gordius supports the view that the cephalic cavity is not paired, but 

 unpaired, in its origin (Hatschek). 



The difference between head cavity and body cavity vanishes when — 

 as is the case, according to Kleinenberg, in many Annelids, for instance

in Lopadorhynchus — a regular splitting of the mesoderm into a somatic 

 and a splanchnic layer does not take place, but the investment of the 

 entoderm is effected by separate cells detached from the mesodermal
