"Mr. Michitaro Sindo has examined the reproductive organs of this genus and 

 reports as follows: "The cojjulatory organ of the male is placed innnediately behind 

 the vent. It is a long, large, rod-like external process, diviiled at the end into two 

 lateral knoV)-like processes and one slender posterior process, which is hooked ante- 

 riorly l)etween the lateral ones. The posterior process arises from a firm round l)ody 

 embedded at the root of the lateral papilUe within a membranous fold, and di.stajly 

 terminates in a glandular sac. The seminal duct pierces through the rod and bifurcate 

 laterally beneath the root of tlie posterior process, each branch opening I'xternally at 

 the end of the lateral papilla. In the female the ovidud forms a thick walled nuis- 

 cular vestibule which is lobulated and opens to the exterior just behind a rather firm 

 •leruial papilla, immediately behind th(> vent. Thecloacal opening thus formed is in 

 the resting stage, and is covered over l)y a thin membram-. The jiroximal end of the 

 vestibule is divided into two muscular horns which are prolonged into the antero- 

 dorsal part of the body cavity and come into relation with the ovary of t'ach side. 

 The impregnation is evidently intrauterine, the eggs developing in the uterine liorns."
