[61] In the diameter of the disc, the thin membranous border,
which is present in the first three genera, is included; but I
have some doubts, whether this border be not the first rim of
cementing tissue, as all the specimens, of which measurements are
here given, had been removed after attachment. In using the terms
inner and outer sides of the end segment, it is supposed, that
this segment is stretched straight forwards, instead of being
bent rectangularly outwards, as in its natural position; and then
there can be no doubt which is the inner and outer sides.
