 of it. Bothria inversely heart-shaped (the broader part being at the 

 lower margin), deep, divided at the bottom by a narrow septum ; 

 edges thick and raised. Proboscides round and club-shaped at their 

 tips. Inferior extremity of body, as it were, truncate. Total length

 faces, and distinctly separated from the body by a contraction 

 which gives the appearance, as it were, of a shoulder to the com- 

 mencement of the body. The bothria are shallow, oval-shaped and 

 divided at the bottom by a septum, which, at about the half of its 

 length, divides into two portions; the edges are raised and thickened. 

 Proboscides short and stout ; the inferior part of the body terminates
