The anal orifice is bordered with a smooth, wide, reflected, lobed rim. The mucous membrane lining the stomach is thick and is thrown into strong, mostly longitudinal wrinkles, which are arranged with some degree of 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 Alder, Joshua, 1792-1867; Hancock, Albany, 1806-1873; Hopkinson, John, 1844-1919; Norman, Alfred Merle, 1831-1918; Embleton, Dennis, 1810-1900.
