Description.—This species has been so well described by Thore (1949) that nothing can be added from examination of the present material. The specimens are in such poor condition that the description has been supplemented from Thore's paper. The mantle is oblong, slightly pointed at the posterior end, and gelatinous. In fresh material the viscera may easily be studied in situ, but in the present specimens the mantle is yellowish and opaque. In well-preserved specimens an outer jellylike coating bears minute bristles. The head is nearly as wide as the mantle and bears rather large eyes which face lateral and are about 20 percent of the mantle length. The arms are short, with the exception of III which in older spec- imens reaches a considerable size, and they are in the order Figure 35.—Japetella diaphana Hoyle a, dorsal view of female, mantle length mm.; b, oral view showing sucker 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 United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
