of a (>}«) crofs. The anus was on the fame fide, a 
little above the bafe, or infertion of the ftalk, and alfo 
quadrivalvular. Towards the aperture of the mouth 
and anus, the body felt more callous. From this 
body iflued a peduncle, or ftalk, of ten inches in 
length, the extreme end of which was fixed to a piece 
of rock. This ftalk was of a light brown colour, 
about the thicknefs of a large hen’s quill, round, hol- 
low, rough, and of a membranous, leather-like fub- 
ftance. 
When the body was opened, the internal coat ap- 
peared to be compofed of reticular fibres. The in- 
terior orifice of the mouth was furrounded by a radi- 
ated fubftance, about the fize of a filver penny, thicker 
and more callous than the coats of any other part. 
The internal aperture of the anus was compofed of 
fibres interwoven with one another. From the apex 
to the bafe, on each fide, defcended obliquely, and 
winding, a fmooth folid body, in width about one 
fifth part of an inch, part of which feparated in the 
examining; fo that it is but imperfectly reprefented 
in the drawing. We cannot give a clearer idea of 
this body, than by faying, that it had greatly the ap- 
pearance (excepting in fize) of one of the fmall in- 
teftines, and was attached to the interior furface of 
the main body, much in the way as they are to the, 
mefentery.
