Oesophagus. fW. Inner part of pharynx. Fig. 4 represents the fully developed cydippid larva ready to hatch out. Such a larva is frequently observed to do stretching movements in the egg membrane and to press the mouth region against the latter as if in attempts to free itself. Eventually, the membrane ruptures and the larva escapes. For a short while after hatching in a vessel, the larva swims about very actively by means of the combs, sinking now and then to the bottom and adhering there by the inner surface of the inferior part of pharynx, which surface is turned outwards by excessively widely opening the mouth. Four or five hours* after hatching, the larva * The time required for the development varies considerably with Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Nihon Do?butsu Gakkai; To?kyo?
