The two accompanying diagrams, copied from Lang sliow these features clearly. The main axis given, the other plans are easily foimd. The excretory vessels lying ^^ always in the sagittal plane, it is accord- inglj' the longitudinal axis of the Polyclads which corresponds to the sagittal axis of Ctenophores, the transverse axis of the latter being then also transverse in Pol\- clads. From this then naturally follows tliat the nuchal tentacles of some primitive Polyclads (Planoceridse) are regarded as homologues of the tentacles of Ctenophores, being placed in the transverse plan. The gastrovascular system of Poly- clads and Ctenophores corresponds in seve- Fig. 10. Diagrammatic longitudinal section of a hypothetical ancestral ral important points.
