Proboscidial nerves.—The proboscis is large and highly spe- cialized in most of the pelagic nemerteans, with a powerful mus- culature and a thick epithelial lining of secretary and sensory cells in addition to the minute sickel-shaped weapon with which it is provided. Consequently it requires an abundant supply of nerves. In some forms these are provided by means of a pair of large nerve stems arising from the points where the ventral commissure joins the ventral brain lobes (Fig. i). This pair of large nerves divides into the definite number of proboscidial nerves.
