Diam. maj. 6 1/2, min. 6, alt. 5 mill. Dedicated to the late Captain Owen Stanley, R.N. Helicina louisiadensis. Tab. 3 fig. 5. a, b.
The people celebrated Sangásang, and sent blood and rice to Maganáwan, who, in turn, spat it out on the ground. As he did so, the sickness and misfortunes of the mortals vanished. The second diam relates a quarrel between the various parts of the house, each insisting on its own importance. At last they recognize their mutual dependence, and the people of the dwelling are again in good health.
No museum-zoologist would hesitate about fabricating two distinct species, if the oldest and youngest sexually mature males were sent to him without the uniting intermediate forms. The same may be observed in Cerapus and Caprella, and probably in all cases where hereditary sexual differences occur. Male of a Bodotria, magnified 10 diam.
In the Pala-an diam she relates, in story form, the cause of the sickness, but in this case ends with a direct invocation to the spirits in Dadáya to "make them well again if you please". The balance of the diams, 35-40, are in story form, and seem intended more as an explanation to the people as to the causes of their troubles than to be directed toward the spirits.
Beneath the line of offerings, a bound pig is laid; and, as she strokes the side of the animal, with oiled fingers, the medium repeats a diam in which she tells of misfortunes of a family, which failed to observe the signs sent by Kaboniyan, and of his instructions as to how best to overcome their troubles.
In Lumaba and nearby villages, unpleasant dreams, or a bad disposition are overcome by a ceremony called Sangásang; but, as this varies somewhat from the others, it is given in detail. The medium, who is summoned for this event, calls for oil and a rooster with long spurs. When these are brought, she strokes the fowl with the oil, and chants the following diam.
The exact localities of not a few have to be determined; a precise record was kept of the place and circumstances under with each was found during the voyage of the Rattlesnake. Relu brumeriensis. Tab. 2 fig. 1. a, b. Diam. maj. 28, min. 23, alt. 23, millem.
It is evident that the larva stands essentially in the grade of Zoea. Less varied than that of the Stalk-eyed Crustacea is the mode of development of the Isopoda and Amphipoda, which Leach united in the section Edriophthalma, or Crustacea with sessile eyes. Embryo of Ligia in the egg, magnified 15 diam.
The dorsal surface of the Slater is united to the larval skin a little behind the head. At this point, when the union has been dissolved a little before the change of skin, there is a foliaceous appendage, which exists only for a short time, and disappears before the young Slater quits the brood-pouch of the mother. Maggot-like larva of Ligia, magnified 15 diam. R remains of the egg-membrane.
Embryo of Cryptoniscus planarioides, magnified 90 diam. The last pair of feet on the middle-body of the larva, consequently the penultimate pair in the adult animal, is almost always similar in structure to the preceding pair.
