56 NILS ODHNER, NORTHERN AND ARCTIC INVERTEBRATES. V. PROSOBRANCHIA. 1 DIOTOCARDIA. 



Variation of the radula: Two forms of radulse are distinguishable (cfr PI. 6, 

 figs, 8—13): the one with 11 median teeth (5.1. 5), the other with 9 (4.1. 4). The 

 form of the teeth is somewhat different in these cases, having in the first a broad 

 semicircular base, attached with a broad (not lengthened) area; the apices are fur- 

 nished with long central cusps and feeble denticles on the sides. In the other case 

 the teeth are somewhat quadrangularly rounded and more contracted beneath the 

 apices, with narrower and more lengthened feet. The denticulation is more marked 

 and extends usually far towards the central cusps; these are usually small, but so- 

 metimes rather prominent (e. g. specimens from Cloven Cliff, fig. 9). Tlie first- 

 named form of radula is characteristic of var. gigantea and is only met with in spe- 

 cimens of its sculpture (from Horn Sound, Matotschkin sharr and Behring Sea). Auri- 

 villius (1887) describes the specimens from Behring Sea as the typical form, but they 

 have the shell and radula characters of var. gigantea Leche, and the var. gigantea 

 of Aurivillius is the typical form; of the first, one specimen has 11 median teeth 

 (according to Aurivillius), thus presenting mixed typical and varietal characters. — 

 The number of lamella? varies from about 20 to 25 (both in type and variety), but 

 sometimes amounts to about 60 (var. gigantea. Cloven Cliff).
