The anterior end of the body is provided with a contractile suctorial tentacle continuous with an internal tubular canal. In most fixed specimens stained with iron hematoxylin the canal can be traced for about three-fifths the length of the body. It usually appears to be directed obliquely toward the right side. The ciliary system consists of four separate complexes. Two long, widely-spaced rows on the right side of the body originate on the dorsal surface close to the right margin at the anterior end and are about two-thirds the length of the body. They curve ventrally as they extend posteriorly. A central complex of fourteen or fifteen.
