L,ymnaea (jFOssaria) truncatula (Mttller) is the common species in
Europe and other parts of the world, but it has not been known to
occur in Japan.. Recently, however, an introduced pond snail has
been found in our country, viz. Hokkaid6 and East Honsha (TOhoku
and Kant6 Districts) and it is obscure how and from where it has
been introduced into ouir country. This species is similar to L.
truncatula in shell feature. so I tried to clear up whether it was
that species or not in the anatomical aspect, too. L. truncatula is a
small species, so its detailed anatomy has not been undertaken ex-
c2pt sdch organs as the radula, the jaw and some parts of genitalia.

encouragement and to Dr. W. S. S. van der Feen van Benthem Jutting
of Zo61ogisch Museum in Amsterdam for sending me the material
from the Netherlands. Thanks are also due to Professor Shin Okoshi
of the University of Tokyo for his active interest.
Material used was collected at Ajiki in Chiba Prefecture, where
the snails were generally found crawling on mud of rice fie!ds and
ditches or attaching itself to the substratum not in but above water
and laid egg masses on mud. The gelatinous, translucent egg mass
measures 4mm in length by 2.5mm or so in width and is soft,
containing about 15 eggs of O.60mm by O.58mm in both diameters
in average. In general the egg mass and the egg are smaller than
those of Ztymnaea (FOssaria> ollula and L. (Radix) j'mponica. '
' External anatomy
Shell thin and elongate ovate; colour light yellowish browii.
Whorls 5.5 in number, well rounded, smoeth except for many fine
growth lines. Suture we!1 indented. Aperture irot so much ex-
panded; columella generally not twisted; umbilicus narrow, fairly
deep. These shell features agree with those of European specimen
<Pl. 2, figs. 1, 2). ' .
The animal is of rather small size and has a small foot with a
fiat proboscis in front. Tentacles are triangular in shape. An eye
is situated at the inner base of the tentacle. In copulation the re-
versed penis is extended below the right tentacle. Body colour is
dark blackish grey in general, which is distinguishable.
Proportions among measurements of a shell are as follows ; the
percentage of width to height of shell varies from 48 to 54, that of the
larger diameter of the aperture・to the shell height 46 to 50, and that

The general position of visceral organs is shown in figure 4 of

the stomach. the praeputium, and the mass-membrane gland.
Alimentary system: (Pl. 2, fig. 3; Pl. 5, figs. 8, 9, 10)
The small ovate muscular buccal mass (bm) is at the centre of
the proboscis (pb). A pair of salivary ducts empty at the・ supra-poste-
rlor surface of the buccal mass on both sides. which pass through the
nervous ring of the concentrated central ganglia. The form oi the
salivary gland (sg) is characteristic of the species and that of this
species shapes a lobular band in combining with each other both above
and beneath the initial part of the oesophagus (oe). The oesophagus
is a fairly long tube and a part of which is swollen.Iike the bird's
crop. The muscular stomach (st) is on the left side of the body a'nd
consists of the anterior and the posterior lumens. The intestine (in)
follows the posterior lumen. Compared with the large right mid-gut
gland (mgr) which occupies almost the entire spire except the body
whorl. the far smal!er left one (mgl) covers parts of the stomach and
of the looped intestine. These glands empty into the "duodenum"
on
the underside and a small caecum (ca) occurs shortly behind. whose
form is also of a specific character. The intestine grooves about on
the surface of the right mid-gut gland to become the rectum (rc)
which is a simple canal and opens near the anus at a short distance
behind the respiratory pore (ro) in the right mantle cavity.
The radula consists of an asymmetrical central tooth. having a
large cusp in the centre and a smaller one on each side and meas-

uring about 61t in width, and about 24 lateral teeth on one sid3.
the first of which b2ing about 8.7pt in width.
Nervous system:(Pl. 3, fig.5; Pl. 4, fig. 6)
The central nervoug system is composed of concentrated ganglia
forming the oesophageal nervous ring, that is, a pair of cerebral (c),
pleural (pl, plr), and parietal (p, pr) ganglia and a visceral ganglion
(v). Besides these ganglia, a pair of pedal (pg) and buccal ganglia
(bg) exist. The former are situated beneath the cerebral and pleural
ganglia and connected with the cerebral and the pleural ganglia
by a thick connective respectively and the latter fasten themselves
to the posterior side of the buccal mass (bm) beneath the o2sophagus.
The anterior cerebral nerves are the nerves to the oral part, to
the proboscis, and to the tentacle. The oral nerve (the ventral pro-
boscis nerve) (bi) is thinner than the parietal proboscis nerve (bs).
The most conspicuous one (tn) goes to the tentacle, while the optical
nerve (on) is only a fine nervous thread of it. The same innervation
is also seen in other L,vmnaea species, The genital nerve
'to the
praeputium (pm) originates at the outer lobe of the right cerebral
ganglion (c) and runs on the undersurface of the praeputium. The
both pleural ganglia (pl, plr) are different in sizg. the right one
being ]arger, and the visible nerve does not start. The right
parietal ganglion (pr) is far bigger than the opposite one (p) and it
looks as if it were paired with the visceral ganglion (v). Two nerves
from each parietal ganglion are observed, one of whi'ch is thicker
than the other. The thicker left parietal nerve (pln) travels to the
left mantle and the thinner one (plp) does to the posterior body wall.

g'anglion goes to the right body wall and the mantle, while the outer
thinner one (prn) does to the female genital opening to send a few
nervous threads. The visceral nerves occur at the posterior end of
the ganglion and one (vn) of them travels straight to the female
genitals and the digestive organs, while another (ngp) turns right-
wards to reach the female genital opening. Considering the nervous
distribution, the male genital organs are innervated by the right
cerebral ganglion and the female genitals are done by the visceral
one.
Both buccal ganglia are connected with each other by a very
short, thin commissure and supply the lateral part of tlie buccal mass
and the initial part of the oesophagus with fine nerves. A very
thin nerve is observed descending from the connective between both
buccal ganglia to the radula sac. The cerebro-buccal connective
occurs at the ventral side of the anterior part of the cerebral ganglion.
A comparatively small, oval pedal ganglion (p.cr) is under the
cerebral and the pleural ganglia and a triangular statocyst (sc)exists on the anterior part of that ganglion. These organs are spe-
cifically characteric in their forms. The pedal nerves. which have
not been examined by any other authors, are able to be roughly
separated into three parts: the anterior pedal nerves, the lateral
pedal ones, and the posterior pedal ones. A prominent nerve (pfa,
pfa') occurs on the antero-ventral side of the ganglion to innervate the
anterior part of the foot. Three nerves (nl. nl', pdr, pdr', etc.) are
found to supply the lateral part of the foot respectively and two
nerves travel posteriorly. One of them (pps, pps'), bei'ng fairly thin,
starts from the centre of the dorsal surface of the ganglion to the

posterior dorsal part of the foot and the other conspicuous one (dpn,
dpn') enters deeply into the muscle to send nervous threads to 'L'he
posterior ventral part. .
Genital system:(Pl. 5, figs. 11, 12, 13) .
The hermaphrodite genital system consists of the hermaphrodite
part, the male genital one, and the female genital one.
The hermaphrodite part is composed of the hermaphrodite gland
(the ovotestis) (hg) and its duct (hd). The form of the hermaphro-
dite gland is of a specific character and that organ has a few large
projecting parts in this species. About the middle of the gland
occurs the hermaphrodite duct (hd), which is partially thickened.
The type of the thickening is also of an important specific character
being of symmetrically labular form in this species in general.
At the point, where the hermaphrodite duct empties into the duct
of the albumen gland (da). the male and the female genital part dif-
ferentiate. The male part consists of the prostate gland (prg), the vas
deferens (vd), the penis, the penis sheath (ps), and the praeputium
(pm). The prostate gland is elongate pyriform in shape and is a
reticulately pigmented organ followed by the vas deferens near its
distal end. The vas deferens (vd) enters into the muscle beside the
female genital pore and appears again near the base of the praeput-
ium. The male copulatory organs are also significant for specific
ldentification. The proportion of the penis sheath (ps) to the praep-
utium (pm) is about 1!3. Two long retractor muscles are attached
to the junction of the penis with the vas deferens and a long one
is at the initial part of the relatively simple praeputium. Moreover,
a few short ones are seen at the base of it.

The female genital system is as follows: the fertilization chamber
(fch), the albumen gland (ag), the oviduct (od). and the egg-membrane
gland (mg) is most conspicuous of them all. A round fertilization
chamber borders upon the duct of the albumen gland, which is'a
comparatively prominent, whitish oval organ. The oviduct (od)
arises from the junction of the hermaphrodite duct (hd) with the
al'bumen duct (ad). followed by the uterus (ut). The white, cylindri-
cal egg-membrane gland is attached to the initial point of the uterus.
The mass-membrane gland follows the uterus and is white in colour,
having fine, darkly pigmented vessels on the surface. At some
distance from the female orifice. there opens the spermathecal duct
to the vagina. The spermatheca and the spermathecal duct are very
discriminative. In this species, the duct is very long compared with
the spermatheca, so L. (FOssaria) truncatula is able to be easily
distinguished from L. (Fbssaria) ollula by this character in spite of
the resemblance of their shells.
Circulatory system : (Pl. 4. fig. 7)
The blood vascular system of this species hardly differ from those
of other [,ymnaea species. having not b2en revealed. The heart is
situated before the transversally-running intestine on the left side
of the body, bordering the distal end of the kidney (kd). It consists
of one auricle (au) and one ventricle (vt). The great aorta (a) runs
over the intestine and ls divided into two smaller aortas. One of
them, the posterior aorta (pa), sends small arteries to the dorsal
surface of the stomach and reaches the posterior visceral organg,
while the other, the anterior aorta (aa), travels anteriorly after send-
ing a fine artery to the underside of the stomach. As soon as the

anterior aorta passes through under the transversally-running inte-
stine, it gives a fine vessel to the oesophagus (goa) and then reaches
the mass-membrane gland to supply the female 'genital
organs. The
artery to the anterior organs, namely, the buccal mags, the praepu-
tium, etc., is separated from the mass-membrane gland and proceeds
anteriorly to pass through between the visceral and the right parietal
ganglion. The fine artery of the praeputium (ap) branches off from
it'
Respiratory system :
The respiratory chamber or the "lung"
is originally an enclosed
mantle cavity situated upon the transversally-running intestine be-
hind the kidney. The respiratory pore (ro) opens before the anus a
few millimeters away in the apex of the right mantle cavity and
the excretory duct opens in the pore.
Excretory system : (Pl. 3, fig. 4)
The ye!lowish lobular kidney (kd) is embedded in the mantle in
front of the "lung".
Its duct is not clearly distinguishable from
the glandular part and opens in the respiratory pore (ro), where
whitish excreted matter is seen to flow out.
Sense organ:(Pl. 4. fig. 6)
The statocyst (sc) is triangular in shape and situated in the
anterior part of each pedal ganglion (pg). The nerve to it is so fine
that it has not been defined.

observation,
such genitalia as the spermatheca, the hermaphrodite
gland and its duct have also specific characters. The hermaphrodite
gland and
its duct or "vesicula
seminalis" of the Japanese specimens
were identified with those of the Dutch material, that is, the herma-
phrodite gland had not numerous small follicles but rather a few

lobes, and symmetrical comparatively simple projections were
found in the duct of both specimens. No detailed account on these
genital parts of L. trancatula has been published. The spermatheca
has

duct, which is about tenfold of the sac-shaped part in length
and seems to have a permanent curvature just below the spermatheca
as

figured. Furthermore. the male copulatory organs
have a few characteristics, namely, this species had few retractor
and protractor muscles. There were a lon.cr. muscle at the connective
part of the praeputium with the penis sheath and two long muscles at
the posterior part of the penis sac. It seems to be a specific character
that few
retractor
and the protractor muscles exist. Baker (1911) andRoszkowski
(1914) stated that the numb3r of these muscles had con- 'siderably
individual and local variations in L. auricularia, L. ovata.
L. stagnalis and L. Palustris. etc., but it appears to me that there
will be little variation in the attaching position of each set of mus-
cles.
Considering these points, the muscle of the male copulatory
organ may be of value to classify sp2cies. In fact, the results obt-
ained agreed
with those by Reichmuth (1936) and Hubendick (1951)in this point. Consequently the above mentioned differences seem tobe mere local variations and the Japanese specimen may be referable 'to lvmnaea (Fbssaria) truncatula (Mti11er).
