diate from a common point of attachment, to which they adhere

which the opposite flattened sides meet,—projects in the form 
of a rather blunt triangular beak. At the inner edge of the 
ase of this beak lies the mouth, to which the former—as fre- 
quent observation has proved—acts as a lip or prehensile organ 
when food is taken into the body. The prevailing tint is a more 
or less uniform light gamboge, without the least trace of an eye- 
Spot of any color.
