masses of spermatozoa. The ovary is in the normal position on 

 the posterior side of the septum 12/13, while the funnel is on the 

 anterior of 13/14, the duct opening anteriorly in segment 14. 

 There is only one pore in this case. There are two prostates in 

 17 and 19, the opening of the male duct lying in the intermediate 

 section. Only in the case of the oviduct do I find any distinct 

 papilla, and there are no penial bulbs or protuberances in the 

 specimen under review. The prostates are of uniform size through- 

 out, and do not end in a muscular portion, as is sometimes the 



case. 



The glandular system is rich and extensive. It includes 

 salivary, pharyngeal and (esophageal or calciferous glands, each of

which merits attention. Beginning at the head we first discover 

 a pair of glands, one dorsal and the other ventral, extending through 

 segments 3 to 6 or thereabouts. They are not attached to the 

 oesophagus, but to the peritoneum, and constitute the glands a 

 mucositt', peptonephridia, or salivary glands of different authors. 

 Benham (4) figures them as occurring in segments 1-3 only in 

 typical Dichogaster. They possess no funnels, and are somewhat 

 more dense or compact than is the case with similar organs in the 

 Enchytrneids, as shown, for example, in Henlca fragilis Friend (-5). 

 They coil round the posterior region of the pharyngeal gland, but 

 are in no way attached thereto. The pharyngeal gland is seen to 

 be closely associated with the pharynx, from which it is distin-
