The annulus is wide from side to side and compressed from before back, very protuberant in front and less so be- hind and has a very small base, which accounts for the movability noticed by Faxon. A view of the sinistral annulus (Fig. 3) taken from the side that bears the receptacle is shown in Fig. 5, which emphasizes the very narrow base and the greatly protruding anterior face. The apex is also seen to rapidly taper. The receptacle obviously extends around onto this lateral side above the level of the central groove, which is indicated in broken lines as seen through the side. Upon looking down upon this same sinistral annulus.
