Occasioually only the poste- rior pair of pouches is present, and in a few forms they are entirely wanting. The nervous system (Fig. 108) is constructed on the tyj)ical Annelid plan. It consists of a circumo'sopha- geal ring and a ventral nerve-cord composed of fibres which have their origin in ganglion-cells grouped to- gether at definite intervals into gan- glionic masses. Several of these gan- glionic masses correspond to single segments, but at the anterior and posterior extremities a considerable amount of fusion of the metameric groups of ganglia has occurred. In Clepsine plana the j)ortion of the ner- vous system which lies above the oesophagus consists of a transverse band of fibres passing hiterally into the circumcMSophageal commissures and of a number of ganglionic latter lie in front of the band of fibres.
