  spermatheca 
  was 
  very 
  large 
  and 
  swollen 
  at 
  the 
  free 
  end. 
  

   This 
  appearance 
  indicated 
  a 
  spermatophore 
  (PI. 
  XX. 
  fig. 
  2 
  a) 
  

   was 
  within 
  it, 
  and 
  with 
  great 
  care 
  I 
  managed 
  to 
  extract 
  it 
  

   nearly 
  complete. 
  The 
  spines, 
  however, 
  were 
  all 
  broken 
  off 
  

   except 
  one 
  ; 
  there 
  were 
  only 
  fifteen, 
  less 
  than 
  in 
  others 
  I 
  have 
  

   seen, 
  all 
  on 
  one 
  side 
  (^5). 
  This, 
  and 
  its 
  shorter 
  flume, 
  is 
  a 
  

   good 
  specific 
  character. 
  The 
  single 
  spine 
  entire 
  is 
  simple, 
  

   bitid.
