A. ecaudata and hranchialis.— The crotchets of these two species are practically identical in size and form. They do not attain so great a size as the crotchets of the caudate species; for they appear not to exceed "4 mm. in length, whereas in large examples of A. loveni the crotchets attain a length of '8 mm., in A. marina and cristata '9 mm., and in A. assimilis and pusilla 1 • 1 mm. A crotchet from a post-larval A. ecaudata, 8 mm. long, is shown in Fig. 28, and presents the usual characters found in small crotchets. Fig. 29 represents two crotchets from the same neuropodium of an adult A. ecaudata 200 mm. long.
