Figure 1. Amphioxus, seen from the right side. a----b shows the
natural size. The animal is supposed to be clarified, and mounted in
some highly refracting medium, so that it is practically transparent; I.,
II., III., and etc., refer to the section figured on Sheet 20.
Figure 2. Amphioxus, General Dissection. (Slightly altered from a
figure by Professor E. R. Lankester.) The ventral atrial wall is
removed. The pharynx cut away from the dorsal body-wall, and with
the true ventral body-wall turned over to the (animal's) right. The arrow
