left throu^'h the transverse and link furrow of the liver, then for- 

 wards, forming a bend on the upper side of the anterior genital 

 mass, then runs backwards to the anal papilla ; the length of the 

 intestine 6 and 10 cm. by diameter of 7 and (3-) 5 mm. ; the 

 yellowish gray and blackish contents of the intestine were more or 

 less crumbled animal substances filled with spicules, perhaps of 

 Ilolothuriae. The posterior visceral mass {liver) on the surface 

 yellowish white, 3 and 35 cm. long by a breadth of Vl and 23 

 and a height of 1-3 and 2 cm. ; the mass was rounded behind and 

 before, the anterior half a little lower ; a transverse furrow divides 

 the mass on its upper side into two parts of nearly equal si^^e ; it is 

 continued along the left side to the anterior I'lid ; the sulDstancc of 

 the liver dirty yellow ; the cavity rather small. 



The pericardium large, 28 mm. broad by a length of 22 ; the 

 ventricle of the heart 11 mm. long by a breadth of 9. The blood 

 gland whitish, thin, of oval form, 17 mm. long by a breadth of 9, 

 lying to the right within the genuflection of the intestine. The 

 reiio -pericardia I organ whitish, flattened, 4 mm. broad ; its duct 

 20 mm. long. 



The hermaphrodite gland nearly clothing the whole liver with a 

 whitish layer 2-4 mm. thick ; in its lobules ripe sexual elements. 

 The anterior (jenital mass (in the larger individual) 2"8 cm. long by 

 a height of 2-2 and a breadth of 1-5 ; the efferent ducts moreover 

 projecting 1 cm. The hermaphroditic duct forming a longish bunch 

 of coils on the left side of the hindermost part of the genital mass. 

 The spermatotheca is a long grayish pyriform bag of the length of 

 2 cm. by a diameter of 1 ; the vaginal duct about 4 cm. long, the 

 vagina somewhat wider; the uterine duct 16mm. long; somewhat 

 about its middle hangs the small pyriform spermatocyst of a length 

 of 4 mm., its duct about twice as long as the organ itself. The 

 muscular first part of the seminal duct short, passing into the white, 

 compressed prostatic part, that projects in a stronger, short con- 

 tinuation, ending in a strong, nearly globular ampulla of a length of 

 10 mm. by a diameter of 8 ; the continuation forwards nearly 2 cm. 

 long. In the last lies the (jlans penis ; its anterior end is somewhat 

 leaf-like, it is entirely covered with yellow pointed thorns (fig. 5) of a 

 length up to 012 mm. ; irregular forms are rather often seen. The 

 muco-albuminous gland very large, yellowish white and white. In 

 the vestiljulum opens a brownish, rounded gland 7 mm. in diameter. -= 



• The state of conservation of the anterior genital mass was not good. 



The condition of the vas deferens was as formerly represented bv me (Cf I c 

 taf. Ixxxiv., figs. 4G-47). ' \ • • •> 



The smaller individual showed the whole genital apparatus less developed ; on 

 the giaiis penis no armuluro could bo detected.
