Another difference between early and late filament formation is found in the relations of the upper end of the reflexed filament limb. In the earlier filaments, the reflexed limb, developed at the free end of the direct limb, is primarily free. In Mytilus it retains this freedom ;l but in many lamellibranchs the upper ends of reflexed filament limbs are secondarily fused with the 1 Even in Mytilus there is a fusion of the upper ends of the reflexed filament limbs with one another to form a somewhat definite border to the reflexed lamella of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Lillie, Frank Rattray, 1870-1947; Moore, Carl Richard, 1892-; Redfield, Alfred Clarence, 1890-; Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
