Memoirs of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Zoological Results of a Tour in the Far East

1919

At the time of the working out of the Echiuroids of the Chilka Lake and the Gangetic Delta (2) the authors had a very limited material of the species T. dendrorhynchus and T. branchiorhynchus and hence many interesting details of the anatomy were left untouched. [...] From the structure of the proboscis of the three species described above it would be seen that the large development of the sinuses is correlated with the development and evolution of the gills. [...] The heart (H) is only the partly swollen basal part of the dorsal vessel (D.v) and lies in front of the printestinal constriction ; the structure of this part is in no way different from that of the rest of the vessel. [...] The coelomic fluid which is probably Of far greater importance in the physiology of the animal than the blood fills up the whole of the body cavity and the spaces in the proboscis described above. [...] The opening to the exterior is at the base while the internal opening or that of the funnel (F) lies on the upper surface a little above the point of attachment.334 ZOOLOGY OF THE FAR EAST.
