Journal of morphology . towards the head,and the aperture opens toward the tail. 226 KINGSLEY. [Vol. VIII. distance and then an inpushing takes place just behind theappendage, the opening of the invagination, according to Kish-inouye being away from the median Hne. This sac, the futurepuhnonary cavity, continues to increase in size, while the ap-pendage proper soon becomes obsolete. In this way the pul-monary sac, with its external opening or stigma, is the pulmonary sac is formed there begins on its anterior wall, on the continuation of the posterior wall of the appendage, — a series of foldings of the ectoderm, the lung-leaves. As the animal increases in size, new lung-leaves areadded at the inner or proximal end. In short, as the adjacentdiagrams show, the homologies between the two types of organsare perfect. In / we have a condition which will apply equally well tothe young of either Limulus or Scorpio. At the right sidethe appendage is just budded out, and on the left the sinking.
