The Ecldnrus larva- (iig. 315) are the most accurately known. They present the type of Loven's larva and possess a strongly developed.

Early in larval life a seg- mental organ, the head kidney or pi'onephros (A'-Vr), is developed, one on either side; and behind'it a pair of mesoblastic bands makes its appearance and gives rise in the subsequent development to the rudiments of 15 segments (fig. 315 b). In the terminal segment, which is surrounded by a circle of cilia, there appear segmeutal.
