Fig. 1. Heart of Simocephalus vetulus. a, tendons attached to 

 lateral walls of heart, b, venous opening of heart, c, 

 muscular bands supporting the abdomen, connected by 

 transverse bands, d, cells of nutritive matter hiding the 

 arterial opening, e, thin membrane seen in section 

 which separates the venous from the arterial blood cur- 

 rents, is in focus near the side, but its situation in the 

 center is shown by the dotted line. Above this or out- 

 side it is the attachment of the powerful antennary 

 and mandibular muscles, f, posterior arterial sinus, g, 

 brood-sac. h, alimentary canal with thick glandular 

 cell walls, i, shell gland or excretory organ, j, power- 

 ful muscles supporting and moving the abdomen. 



Fig. 2. An early stage of the embryo of Daphnia schcefferL a, 

 anus, n, nutritive globules or fat drops characteristic 

 of the summer embryo. m\ m^ outer and inner enve- 

 lope of the embryo. This is a nauplius stage, but not | 

 the first or proper nauplius. The portion darkly shaded j 

 is nutritive yolk.

 represented by k, 1, m, n. o, first foot. p. antenna, 

 q, anus and intestine partly completed, s, shell growiug 

 out from the maxillary region.

 appearing as dark flecks, c, shell growing over the 

 head, d, labrum. e, antennule.
