Anterior median eyes distinctly the largest of the set, separated 

 by a space less than their diameter and from the anterior laterals 

 by a space about equalling their radius : anterior laterals with 

 their long diameter about equaling that of the medians and twice 

 their own short diameter ; the eyes themselves about twice as 

 large as the posterior laternls, which are themselves close to and a
