These are all sub-ovate in shape, and have a smooth articular 

 border dividing them. The seventh is sub-trigonal in form, and 

 narrows so rapidly that its posterior border is only half of the breadth 

 of the anterior border, which is as broad as the posterior border of 

 the sixth segment. The anterior border is 8 millimetres in length, 

 the posterior border 4, while the segment is 5 millimetres long. 

 The whole surface of the animal appears almost smooth to the 

 naked eye, but when viewed through a lens it is seen to be granular, 

 with more pronounced granules on the seventh segment.
