In the genus Mytilus the foot is very much reduced; in others which have lost the power of locomotion (e.g. Ostrea) it is absent altogether. On the posterior part of the foot there is in some genera (e.g. Mytilus, Avicula, Area) a gland which secretes a bundle of horny fibres, known as the byssus, by means of which the animal moors itself to foreign objects. On each side of the foot, between it and the mantle, and attached to the body dorsally, are the gills or branchiae (fig. 84, g); these consist of filaments which usually become connected so as to form leaf-or plate-like bodies, whence the name Lamellibranchia.

A current of water, caused by the cilia on the gills and mantle, flows in through the ventral opening, and provides the animal with foo...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
