 the whole length of the foot, from which it is often not distinctly

differentiated. The foot has a flat creeping sole. There is no distinct 

 mantle fold, no gill corresponding with that of the Tectibranchia, 

 and no shell. The head carries tentacles or rhinophores, and sessile 

 eyes. The anus lies either dorsally in the median line, or laterally to 

 the right. The genital and renal apertures lie to the right in front 

 of the anus. The gills, which vary much in form, number, and 

 arrangement, are found dorsally or laterally, and are not homologous 

 with the typical Molluscan ctenidia.
