tory lobes and nerves ; h, cerebral lobes ; c, optic lobes ; d, cerebellum ; e, 
organ of hearing, showing the semicircular canals, with the otolite repre- 
sented in place by the dotted lines; /, medulla oblongata; g, optic nerves 
and eye specks. 
Fig. 2. Otolite, enlarged. 
Fig. 3. Eye, magnified (natural size one-sixteenth of an inch in length) ; cr, optic nerve ;

(iris?); e, lens. 
Fig. 4. Leas, enlarged and showing the cells.

Fig. 8. One of the ridges of papillae from the head, magnified. 
Fig. 9. Three of the papillae from the ridge, still more magnified, showing the cup- 
shaped summit and projecting filament. 
Fig. 10. A portion of the ridge magnified, and treated with acid, to show the arrange- 
ment of the nervous plexus supplying the papillae with nerve filaments from
