Plate 7, Figures 21-22.
Fig. 21. The viscero-pericardial coelom, and the dorsal chamber of the renal sac of a male specimen. This figure is rather diagrammatic. Thick lines represent the cut edges of the walls of the body cavities, which have been removed to expose the organs lying within them. All but the most anterior part of the ventral renal chambers (V.CH.) together with the branchial hearts and veins associated with them have been removed, but the communication (C.V.C.) just posterior to the ventricle (VE.) in the middle line between the right and left ventral chambers, is shown. The loop of the intestine (IN.) and part of the rectum (RE.) have been removed. All the ventral wall of the viscero-pericardial coelom (VP.) except the pouch (P.B.H.) of the right branchial heart, the transverse flap (T.VP.) which forms the dorsal wall of this pouch, and the anterior funnel-shaped parts leading to the apertures (A.VP.C.) of the coelom into the renal sac have been cut away, together with the male genital duct. In addition part of the dorsal wall which separates the viscero-pericardial coelom from the dorsal chamber (D.C.) of the renal sac has been removed. The ventricle of the arterial has been cut through, and the left-hand part which receives the left auricle has been removed. The ducts of the digestive glands (D.L.) are represented as having had most of their appendages (PA.) clipped off, and holes show where the cavities of these appendages opened into them.
Fig. 22. Diagram of the viscero-pericardial coelom and the renal sac of a male specimen. In this diagram the ventral wall of the ventral chambers of the renal sac are represented as having been cut away. The thick line (C.V.R.) represcnts the cut edge. The outline of the transverse flap (T.VP.) of the visceropericardial coelom (VP.) and most of the dorsal renal chamber (D.C.) are shown by brokcn lines as they are obscured by other parts of thc body cavities.
