vagina leads inward nearly half way across the body, where it joins the single 

 uterus, which apparently extends forward. The ovary extends backward past 

 the vulva. Nothing is known concerning the size and form of the eggs. 

 Habitat: About the roots of citrus trees, Corfu, Greece. Fig. 88, p. 304.

| set CTT Near the beginning of the 

 pharyngeal tube, each of 

 ' x 75 the three sectors of the 



oesophagus presents longitudinal lines of yellowish pigment. 

 From some little distance behind the nerve-ring, the oesoph- 

 agus continues to have the same diameter throughout the 

 remainder of its length. There is a flattish conoid cardia, 

 about one-third as wide as the base of the neck. Lining of the oesophagus appar- 

 ently wavy, occupying one-third of the optical section. The intestine, which 

 becomes at once three-fourths as wide as the body, is made up of cells of large 

 size, at least some of the cells are of very large size, of such a size that probably 

 two only would be required to build a circumference. Whether there are other 

 smaller cells scattered among these larger cells remains to be determined. The 

 large cells are packed with nearly colorless granules of rather uniform size, hav- 

 ing a width about half as great as the thickness of the body wall. While the anus 

 is depressed, its posterior lip is slightly raised. Rectum about as long as the 

 anal body-diameter. The nema tapers gradually from a considerable distance 

 in front of the anus. Near the anus, it begins to taper more rapidly, so that at 

 the middle of the tail, the diameter is only about half as great as at the anus; 

 thence onward, the tail is nearly cylindroid and ends in an elongated spinneret. 

 No distinct traces of caudal glands are to be seen in the base of the tail; hence 

 it is assumed that they are located in front of the anus. Obscure indications 

 have been seen of their presence half as far in front of the anus as the terminus 

 is behind it. The lateral fields have not been distinctly seen. The location of 

 the renette cell remains undetermined. This description is derived from a 

 young female, and all that can be said is that the ovaries are probably double 

 and reflexed. 



Habitat: Marine mud and sand, Noumea, New Caledonia, and Biscayne Bay, 

 Fla., U. SL A. Other species of this genus occur in the Indian Ocean and in the 

 Mediterranean Sea. Fig. 89.
