The ventral part of the meso- derm surrounds the intestine and its cells constitute a solid mesoderm for most of the early development (Fig. 13, Plates 5 & 7). In the larval stages examined in this study, a coelomic gap is seen in the posterior third of the larvae in this ventral region (Plates 9, 15-17, Figs. 12 & 15). This space should become the perivisceral coelom of the adult (Prenant 1936, Holland, 1996). A sclerocoel is never present in the developmental stages examined in this study. Recent anatomical studies are ambiguous regarding the presence of a sclerocoel in adult cephalochordates. A coelomic cavity with the epithelial sclerothel is des- cribed by Holland & Holland (1990) and Ruppert (1997b). However, Ruppeit (1991, p. 9) states that "adult myomeres lack a cavity". This issue is in need of reinvestigation. The myocoel could be detected as a narrow intercellular space at the lateral side of most of the mesodermal segments (e. g., Fig. 10, Plates 5, 9, 14-18).
