 duct (Fig. 234 A to c, and Fig. 235). 



Each pronephric and mesonephric tubule is made up of the 

 following portions (see Fig. 234-A) : (1) a funnel-shaped ciliated 

 aperture, communicating with the body-cavity (peritoneal funnel, 

 nephrostome, Fig. 234A, ST) ; (2) a rounded mass of capillaries
