There are 8—9 Polian vesicles and oiie stone-canal. The oesophagus 
is long, without any muscular thickening. The intestine makes the 
usual loop. 
The genital organs are long, unbranched tubes. The sexes are 
separate; the eggs are rather small, ca. O .2 mm. 
Ciliated funnels in middorsal, left dorsal and right ventral inter- 
radii; they are siender, with a narrow opening. Those in the right 
ventral interradius are very large, very elegantly shaped, like a 
french-horn (Fig. 58). They may be up to 1 mm long, while the 
usual size otherwise is only ca. 0.2 mm. Also in the left dorsal 
interradius some larger funnels may be found among the usual 
small ones, but it appears that they do not grow nearly so large 
there as those in the right ventral interradius. 
This species is rather sharply distinguished from all other spe¬ 
cies of Chiridota known till now, and it is hardly possible to point 
out any nearer relation of it.
