Fig. 1. Creseis acicula. Several of the internal organs are drawn 

 in optical section, a. anus ; al. gl. receptaculum seminis ; 

 c. f. ciliated furrow for conveying spermatozoa from the 

 sexual orifice to the penis ; ci. sh. ciliated shield, respira- 

 tory in function ; /. n. main branch of fin-nerve ; g. sub- 

 cesophageal portion of central nerve mass, showing the 

 great fin-nerves being given off from the anterior corners, 

 and the otoconia lying beneath ; h. d. duct of receptaculum 

 seminis ; h. gl. ovo-testis, or hermaphrodite gland ; 

 i. intestine ; I. liver ; on. I. middle and rudimentary lobe 

 of foot ; m. n. mantle nerve ; np. nephridium ; o. mouth ; 

 oe. oesophagus ; ot. one of the two otocysts, containing, 

 not a single spherical body or otolith, but numerous small 

 calcareous bodies, whose mass is termed an otoconia, 

 (the function of these bodies is supposed to be auditory) ; 

 p. o. penial aperture situated at the base of the rudimen-

Fig. 2. View of an entire Creseis (Fig. 1. had to be drawn in two 

 portions, as the length was too great for the size of the 

 plate). 



Fig. C shows the homologies of a typical Pteropod larva, (Cymbulia), 

 with the larvae of typical Gastropods, A and B ; A being 

 a younger and B an older stage. (After Gegenbaner). 

 v. velum ; c. shell ; /. foot ; op. operculum ; t. tentacles. 



Fig. D. Diagram of a simple bilaterally symmetric or Isopleurous 

 Gastropod (Chiton). 



Fig. E. Diagram of an asymmetric or Anisopleurous Gastropod. 



Fig. F. Diagram of a naked Pteropod. 



Fig. G. " " thecate or shell-bearing Pteropod. 



Fig. H. " " Cephalopod. 



(All after Lankester, G being modified). 

 D, V, A, and P point respectively to the dorsal, ventral, anterior^ 



and posterior aspects of the body. 



The extent of the foot in each case is denoted by the dotted 



shading. 



o. mouth ; a. anus ; ff. fore-foot ; m. f. mid-foot ; h. f. hind-foot ; 



ep. epilobium ; c. e. cephalic eyes ; s. p. sub-pallial space ; m. s. mantle 



skirt or flap ; vs. visceral hump or dome.
