In the Prochordata (including for the present occasion the Enteropneusta, Tunicata, and Cephalochorda) the three principal canal systems of the body, namely, coelomic, neural, and alimentary, open in various ways to the exterior in the anterior region, where they form an intricate association of apertures which I have formally designated as the anterior trematic complex. The following table will possibly be useful to future investigators who may venture to wrestle with this 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 Willey, Arthur, b. 1867; Willey, Arthur, b. 1867.
