 epimeral wall has been removed in order to 

 show the course of the branchio-cardiac veins, 

 and also to show the connect ion between the 

 latter and the pericardium. x 1. 



Fig. 55. A dissection of the epimeral region of the 

 thorax from the right side, in order to show 

 the positions of the branchial sinuses, the 

 infra-branchial sinus, the afferent branchial 

 sinuses, and also the sinuses coming from the 

 thoracic legs. x 1. 



Fig. 5G. Diagrammatic section through the thorax in 

 the region of the heart, to show the blood 

 system and the general arrangement of the 

 organs. The tendons of the first walking legs 

 are shown, x 1.

Fig. 57. Dissection of the left side to show the exten- 

 sions of the bladder. The dorsal region of the

 have also been taken away. The antennary 

 gland is represented by a dotted circle. x 1.
