The anatomical investigation of this parasite of the body-cavity of 
sturgeons, which has no mouth or intestinal tube, leads to its being

Several portions of the female generative apparatus receive in the 
course of this 6laboratc and important investigation a now interpreta- 
tion ; the parts to which the egg owes its constituent element, as ovary’' 
and “ albumigenous gland,” the “ orgon af Mehlis ” as the shell-gland, 
&.G. The successive development and consecutive evanescence of the 
difl’erent portions of both sexual systems is pursued in detail throughout 
the whole chain ; ol)scrvations on the valvulation of the aquiferous 
vessels, and the so-termed plasmatic (blood ?) vessels being appended.

[Zool. Rec. X. p.' 487] are recorded, tom. cit. pp. 368-372. Cobbold's
