 become quite abrupt. 



At the same time that the stomach moves dorsally, the 

 cerebral ganglia (fig. 34, eg.), which are still a mass of rather

 The foot (/.) retains its position beneath the intestine and

 tip of the foot, and together with the apical plate and the 

 remnants of the test cells is thrown away. From appear-
