The muscles of the claspers have been considered in the section on the muscular system, and are illustrated by Figures 22 and 23, plate V, after Goodey, also by Text-figure 115b (p. 472), after Leigh-Sharpe. The peculiar blood vessels of the claspers are described in the section on the blood-vascular system. The present account deals with the general form and structure of the claspers, together with some inferences as to the manner in which they function. As an introduction to the study of the claspers I can do no better than to quote the following from Leigh-Sharpe (1920, pp. 245-246):. Text-figure 95. Ventral view of the pelvic region of a male Chlamydoselachus, showing myx- opterygia or claspers. Cav., projection of cavity. After Leigh-Sharpe, 1926, Fig. 1, p.
