Another point of dis- tinction between this species and Eizchytrccus alaskce is seen in the two penial papillas, which are of equal size and further apart than in the present species. Brain.— The structure of the brain offers some points of interest. The fibers, which in other genera form a solid convex band, are in this, as well as in E. alas- ^\\-sM, >^^, broken up into two groups, one forming a glob- ular projection extending further back toward the pos- terior margin (fig. 34, b'). It is not improbable that this peculiarity is of generic importance. Intestine. — There Is a thin coating of broad chlor- agogen cells in somites VI Fig. 35. EnchytrcBus metlakatlensis. ^O IX ; in the Other somites no such cells can be seen. Sperinathecce (fig. 36).—The pore connecting with the intestine is not at the apex of the pouch, but situated on one side, as shown in fig.
