HABITS, ETC., OF OEKEBEATULUS LACTEUS. 195 



Fig. 3.— Male (left) and female (right) Cerebratulus, the latter showing 

 normal anal papilla. Photograph from life, one eighth life size. 



Fig. 4. — Cerebratulus with proboscis siieath cut open to show how the 

 proboscis is coiled when withdrawn. Photograph from preserved specimen, 

 one eighth life size. 



All the remaining figures, with the exception of Nos. 11, 53, 54, and 

 59, have been drawn with a camera lucida on a Leitz microscope. The 

 magnification is indicated by giving the Leitz numbers of the eye-piece 

 and objective used. The figures have then been reduced one half in 

 making the plates. 



Fig. 5. — Gastrula, showing shape and arrangement of ectodermal cells and 

 beginning of cilia rows. 3 and 7. 



Figs. 6 and 7. — Successive stages in the process of escaping from the egg 

 membranes. 3 and 3. 



Fig. 8. — Gastrula just escaped fi'om the membranes, tiiirty-eight hours old. 

 Cilia and flagella drawn the exact length seen. 1 and 7. 



Fig. 9. — Larva forty-eight hours old, first stage in formation of apical 

 muscle. 1 and 7; tube drawn 60 ram. 



Fig. 10. — Same, fifty-four hours old, second stage; side view.

 veloped ; post-cesophageal muscle forming a triangular sheet ; radiating lappet 

 muscles well developed. 



Fig. 16. — Same, twelve days old; surface view showing parietal muscles. 



Fig. 17. — Transverse interparietal muscle attached to apical plate, from 

 larva six days old. 1 and 7- 



Fig. 18. — Eggs taken from ripe ovary and examined before they have 

 touched any water. 3 and 3. 



Fig. 19. — Same after immersion in salt water three minutes. 



Fig. 20. — A ripe, freshly laid ovum, unfertilised, showing membranes and
