 with a much broader portion, where there is a difi'ei-entiation of 

 the contained matter into long, thin cells, cut off in a transverse 

 direction. There are distinct spaces between some of the cells, 

 which appear to be ova in 

 process of formation. This 

 part may, perhaps, be looked 

 upon as an oviduct. A de- 

 finite, tubular duct, connect- 

 ing it with the uterus, is not 

 discernible in any of the 

 specimens, which I have ex- 

 amined. 8(jme individuals 

 examined had a single, lai'ge, 

 oval egg in the common 

 uterus (Fig. J:7, o.). The 

 uterus measures 0'092 x 

 0*055 mm. A large receptaculum seminis seems to be a diverti- 

 culum from it. It lies to one side of the oviducts, and extends 

 out towards the anterior and posterior ovaries. In all the speci- 

 mens examined, it is full of sperms (Fig. IG, .s'/y.). The narrow 

 passage, leading from the uterus to the vulva, has thick walls.
