Fig. 31. Dissection of a cockle from the ventral side, to 

 show the visceral ganglion and nerves. Only 

 the portion of the body behind the viscero-pedal

 between the siphons and the horizontal shelf 

 continuing this forward are cut likewise. X

 muscle separated slightly from the anterior 

 wall of the viscero-pedal mass. The right 

 labial palps are mostly removed. X 4 diam. 



Fig. 33. Dissection of the proximal limb of the viscero- 

 pedal mass from its anterior margin to show
