Usually loith two ciliated j)its in the cephalic region. The sexes are separate. The Nemertines are distinguished not only by their elongated form, but also by their con- siderable size and high organization. Thick layers of muscles, traversed by connective tissue, are spread beneath the integument, which con- tains pigment as well as flask-shaped mucous glands. The external layer of longitudinal muscles^ strongly developed in the Anojjla, is Avanting in the Enopla (Nemertines, the probos- cis of which is armed with stylets), in which group there is only an outer layer of circular muscles and an inner layer of longitudinal muscles. A long tubular protrusible proboscis, which is sometimes armed with stylet-shaped rods, is always found at the anterior end of the body above the buccal cavity, and projects through a special prjeoral opening (fig. 276), and can be retracted into a special muscular sheath separate from the body cavity. At the bottom of the principal portion of the proboscis, there is in many Nemertines (Enopla) a large spine, which is directed forwards, and at its sides numei-ous small secondary spines in pouches. The posterior glandular portion of the proboscis, to which retractor muscles are attached, is, according to Claparede, to be regarded as a poison apparatus. When the proboscis is pro- * A. de Quatrefages, ' Memoire sur la famille des Nemertines,' Ann. des Sc. Sen 3, Tom. VI., 18i6. Mcintosh, ' On the Structure of the British Nemer
