SIPUNCULOIDEA. 



and the same internal structure as in E 2, together with closely similar papillae, 

 the retracted introvert is shorter than the body, 14 mm. : 11"5 mm. In El, 

 moreover, the dorsal retractors originate from a point half-way between the opening 

 of the segmental organ and the ventral retractor, while in E 2 they originate at a 

 position only one-third approximately (as in the other specimens) of the distance 

 between these two points. It is a little difficult to see how to deal with those 

 anomalies satisfactorily ; and I have preferred to consider these two provisionally 

 as within the limits of the present species. In two of the specimens I find the 

 segmental organs reaching about as far again beyond the insertion of the retractors. 

 A spindle muscle, not attached to the hind end, is generally present, though in one 

 or- two cases I have not been quite able to decide as to its presence or absence. 

 In two cases I have found two distinct muscles attaching the front portion of the 

 gut to the body-wall ; in the other cases I have seen no muscles at all, though it 

 seems quite possible "that they may easily be torn, and so escape notice, in these small 

 specimens.
