 finally is partly contained in the pallial cavity. In the Basom-

Arion, Limax, Clausilia, Helix, etc., but not in Succinea, there is a 

 caudal vesicle, known as the pedal sinus or podocyst (Fig. 117, po). 

 The larval kidneys are paired and generally symmetrical organs 

 situated at the anterior end of the body, immediately behind the 

 velum or apical area. In the marine Streptoneura they are caducous 

 ectodermic projections, in which the products of excretion are
