The penis and penis-sac are each retracted by a powerful muscle 

 which is inserted near the attachment of the right buccal retractor, 

 the penis-sac retractor being the larger. (PI. IV, F, 3, 4; pi. I, figs. 

 18, 19.) The penis-sac is protracted by two sets of muscles, one, 

 anterior, being attached to the dorsal surface of the body and the other, 

 posterior, to the columella muscle. The former set consists of a wide 

 band of muscular tissue, made up of many smaller muscles, while the 

 latter set may be composed of as many as six distinct muscles or as 

 few as one muscle. (PI. I, figs. 15, 16.) There may also be two 

 penis-sac retractors. The female organs have no free muscles. The 

 retractors of the foot are attached to the columella muscle, as in most 

 spiral shells.
