. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology. Deep Sea Protobranchs • Sanders b- Mien 41 nd gut oesophagus. anterior sense organ pedal ganglion foot Figure 24. Tindaria miniscula Sanders & Allen. Semidiagrammatic drawing of the body and mantle organs as seen from the right side. the gut. The foot is relatively small, and placed far back on the visceral mass. It bears a relatively large, triangular, poste- riorly directed heel and a small 'byssal' gland. The sole of the foot is small, divided and peripherally papillate with glands to the inside of the papillae. The ganglia are large, particularly the pedal, the visceral and cerebral ganglia are attenuate pear- shape. There is a pair of small but typical protobranch statocysts dorsal to the pedal ganglia. The kidney is veiy small; sexes are separate, whole mounts showing initial stages in ovarian development with approx- imately 12 ova lateral to the stomach. Although the total number of specimens in our samples is small, and the size range is so much smaller than in other species ( to mm), the population histogram remains clearly skewed to the left as it is in Tindaria caUisfifonnis (Fig. 25). Similai-ly, the height/length ratio shows a wide range of values varying from to over the length range (Fig. 26). However, we may not have sampled the smaller juvenile stages which might have passed tluough the 10-1 STA. 197 a 198.
