The author finds that in E. brevicollis the menisci are replaced by two 
long cylindrical tubes, which open into a groove at the base of the pro- 
boscis, and extend to the hinder extremity of the body. These organs 
are regarded as representing the intestine, and, in consequence of their 
resemblance to the intestines of some Trematoda, he thinks that there is 
some affinity between these Orders ; the Acanthocephali ought therefore 
to be separated from the Nematodes.
