The intermediate muscle is well de- veloped ventrally, extending as near to the mid-ventral line as do the body muscles, but dorsally it passes but a little way beyond the angles of the mouth. Streiff interprets the inter- mediate muscle as double, an interpre- tation which seems to be borne out by comparison with some species still to be described. The oral musculature (fig. 99) shows a short oral retractor, which gives rise, at the angle of the mouth, to a wide admarginal sphincter muscle in each strongly incurved lip. Across the angle of the oral siphon lies a band of dark- colored muscle, comparable to that seen in a similar position at the distal end of the oral siphon in the solitary form of this species. Comparisons, especially with the C}7closalpas, will show how various are the interrela- tions of the intermediate muscle and the more basal sphincters of the lips, especially the upper lip. In several species the ventral portion of this Iasis hexagona, on the other hand, has usculature, in the very numerous indi- , is considorablv different from that. aggregated zooid, seen from the right side. x by Hoyt s.
