The edges of the cleft are continuous with the margins of the groove in the theca, and are united as far as the edge of the disc by a remarkable bead and channel joint—the thick edge of one lobe of the disc fits into a corresponding cylindrical channel in the other (Fig. 31). The distal surface of the disc is channeled by the well-known 'false tracheae.' In the centre there is a deep longitudinal fissure, which extends into the tubular mouth situated between the KiG. 28.—/, Tlie fulciuin : a, proximal, and /', cHstal cornua ; c, median raphe ; (/, chitinous plalc, uniting the clypeus with the cpistome ; 3, side view of the same : J>>i, pharyngeal tube ; //, lateral plate ; j, transverse section through the rostrum : ///, pharynx ; ////, mesolabrum ; a/>, apodeme of the |irclabrum ; iiix, maxilla ; ///, muscles ; Ir, trachea; ; ./, a vertical section of the mouth : //, hyoid ; //, prepharyngeal tube ; r, inner plate of the prelabrum ; /, ligula ; sii, salivary (lingual) duct ; si, stomal or hypoglossal plate ; ils, discal sclerite ; «, nodulus ; c/i, cochleariform sclerite ; s s, sesamoid sclerite ; 5, the furca. labrum and the theca.

Morphology of the Rostrum. — Transverse sections of the rostrum show that it consists of two parts (Fig. 28, j), a median anterior or dorsal tube {ml), which is continuous with the cavity of the labrum—this represents a mesolabrum, and
