Fig. 248, p. 373). Thisganglion is said not to correspond with the larval supra-cesophageal ganglion, but toarise anew in the development of the adult animal. Malaeostraea. I.

If this pronouncedsegmentation recalls, on the one hand, the nervous system of the Phyl-liij/tiiln (Bramchiopoda), it shows on the other (especially in the structureof the brain) a decidedly Malacostracan character. The ganglia for theposterior antennae are moved far forward on the oesophageal commissures,and form, as in all Malaeostraea, the most posterior division of the brain.The transverse commissure, which corresponds with them, however,
