PLATE LIII. 
ACANTHODRILUS TAMAJUSI. 
96. A somewhat diagrammatic view composed from several longitudinal sections of the body. +. m. retractor mus- 
cles of gizzard. c.c. masses of free ccelomic cells. 
SPARGANOPHILUS BENHAMI. 
97. Adult specimen, natural size. 
98. The anterior somites, ventral view, including clitellum, tubercula pubertatis, etc., magnified four times. 
99. Longitudinal section of the anterior somites passing through the spermathecal and prostate pores, composed 
from seyeral sections. Somites xix-xxii are not figured. sep. gl. septal glands which open in the dorsal part 
of the pharynx. J. sep. gl. lower septal glands which open in the ventral part of the pharynx. The sperma- 
thece have been cut through diagonally and the figure does not give any idea of their real shape. 
101. Section of the body-wall in yentral part of somite xii. p. peritoneum. 2. ep. nuclei of supporting cells. 
102. Longitudinal section of the clitellum. 7. Supporting cells. 2. Unicellular glands. 3. Short clitellar cells, 
staining deeply, and furnished with perfect nuclei. 4. Largest clitellar cells, staining less deeply and with 
imperfect nuclei. Zeiss D. 
103. A part of the same section, more magnified. Iron, hematoxylin, Haidenhein, Ehrlich 3 acid. Numerals indi- 
cate the same as in fig. 102. d.n. degenerate nuclei of the 4 cells. x. sec. cell plasma around the nuclei 
pushed far back in the apical part of the cell. x. sh. c. nuclei of the short clitellar cells surrounded by cell 
plasma and mucin. ec. ¢. connective tissue. J. c. blood capillaries which are very scarce in the clitellum of 
this species. 
104. Section of the body wall in somite xiv. 
105. Cross-section through clitellum and tubercula pubertatis. 7. Supporting cells. 2. Unicellular glands. 3. 
Shorter clitellar cells staining darkly. 4 The longer clitellar cells. 5. tpc. tubercula pubertatis 
cells, largest kind. A few of these are seen to contain free but shrunken nuclei. 6. tpc. tubercula puber- 
tatis cells of the narrow kind, with cell plasma in the apical end, but also with shrunken nuclei. ¢. p. tuber- 
cula pubertatis groove. x. /. nerve fibers. cl. c. 2. large unicellular glands, a large form of the usual uni- 
cellular epidermal glands. Above these is seen a wide lumen, probably a blood vessel. 
106. Longitudinal section of the body-wall, through spermatheca. 
107. Longitudinal section of body-wall through prostate and pore in somite xxiy. ¢.c. tubular supporting cells. 
g.c. glandular cells confined to the zone around the intersegmental grooves. 
108. The same as 107, more magnified. 
109. The inner whorl of the ciliated rosette. 
110. Section through the esophagus. i. c. interstitial cells. g/. interstitial glands. 
111. Section through intestine in somite xii. fbr. blood crystals and fibrine. w. bl. w. wall of blood sinus. 
112. Section through upper pharyngeal wall, showing epithelial cells, and between them the discharge tubes of the 
glands. Zeiss 12, hom. im. 
113. Section through the same part, showing a three-forked duct. 
114. Section through the intestinal wall, next posterior to the real pharynx, showing larger discharge tubes and 
chambers. 
115. Section through ventral wall of pharynx, with ducts and storage chambers of glands, and between them shorter 
epithelial cells. m. and d. muscles along which run the ducts. x. d. nuclei of ducts. 
116. Surface view of one of the larger blood vessels. 
117. Outline of one of the nephridia. 
\18. Outline of a spermatheca,
