endopodite. The remainder of the appendage forms the 

 flattened scaphognathite (sc) , which is, probably, a modi- 

 fied exopodite. 



e. After removing the second maxillae, notice under 

 them the still more delicate and foliaceous Jirst maxill83 

 (Fig. 96). Remove these, and notice that the basipo- 

 dite (6) and the coxopodite (ex) are very much elongated 

 and jaw-like, while the exopodite is absent, and the endo- 

 podite (en) is very small, but not quite as 

 ert rudimentary as that of the second maxilla.

f. Notice the cutting edges of the mandibles, which 

 meet each other on the middle line. Force them apart, 

 and notice between them the mouth, Avith its membrane- 

 ous, hairy upper lip, with several small calcifications, and 

 just posterior to the cutting edges of the mandibles notice 

 on each side of the middle line of the body a spatulate 

 process which runs downwards and lies in contact with the 

 surface of the mandi])le. These two processes form the 

 meta stoma, or lower lip. Each 

 consists of a calcified rim or 

 frame, covered by a soft mem- 

 brane.
