Facts as these, that rather grown individuals have rather undeveloped appendices, I have oftener seen, for inst. in Aca)itliias. The appendix is naked, much more clumsy than in the preceding species, flattened, somewhat roimded on the dorsal side, a/L -/âl^k ^^^ contour is clumsih" clubsliaped; the club is formed b}- the terminal part constituting more than half the length of the i^art to be seen from the back. The appendix-slit runs from the fore- 1 A)l ^ most dorsal opening laterally, so that it cannot be seen from the dorsal side except in the hindmost end of the terminal , ^'% \ where the dorsal lip, as it were, retires; the dorsal lijj, throughout the terminal part, is supported b\- inner skeletal parts reaching Ri- '' 'Jj^t \\ I - T. to its edge, while tlie soft membrane of the ventral lip as a broad wall stretches past its skeletal part (7^0) ^mcl is laid -- in a £d' E\ -^ J , â â Mi"^ a / ' similar manner as in the Skate â dorsallv against the upper lip; from the hinder,
