 median field in anlage. In its final stages saccular, or with 

 anterior and posterior outpocketings. Embryos without 

 pyriform apparatus. Dorsal excretory duct dorsal to ven- 

 tral (not known in M. variabilis) 45 



Uterus a very complicated, finely meshed reticulum, usually ,if 

 not always, crossing the excretory ducts dorsally in anlage.

 which generally end in a disk. Dorsal excretory duct me- 

 dian to ventral 47
