Sexual glands. — The penial papillse on each side consist of two 

 distinct and separate masses of glandular cells arranged in the usual 

 feathery manner characteristic of this genus. There are two agglom- 

 erations of such glands, one anterior to the other, the anterior one 

 being the smallest. In the specimen sectioned longitudinally the 

 former gland-complex is seen to consist of eight agglomerations, while

the latter or anterior one contains only three or four. There is, how- 

 ever, some variation, as in one dissected specimen the anterior complex 

 is only one-third smaller than the posterior one. The sperm -funnels 

 are somewhat curved and about three times as long as wide. Sperm- 

 ducts open independently of the penial papillae and a little more 

 ventrally than either. 



JSfephridia. — The inner duct narrow, running in a zigzag manner. 

 Sections show that the lumen is connected with innumerable minute 

 and probably branching ducts, too small to be indicated on the figure 

 (p1. XVIII, fig. 3).
