The intestine is a straight tul^e which is connected with a large digestive gland. The nervous system consists of a cerebral ganglion in the head, a pedal ganglion in the foot. joined to the cerebral ganglion b\ a pair of ganglionated nerve cords, and a visceral ganglion in the body also united to the cerebral ganglion by a pair of nerve cords. The general body-formand arrangement of organsof the unspecialized mollusc are for a short time partially realized in embryonicCephalopoda. The egg of the Cephalopoda contains a large amount of yolkand undergoes a discoidal cleavage, hence the form of the embryo is greatlymodified hom its primitive condition. The dorsal surface of the embryo is
