pouch. These are about one-half as long as the pouch and slightly

duct leaves the 

 nephridium at 

 the center. Color 

 white, very trans- 

 parent. Integu- 

 ment thin.

Characteristics. The spermathecae are the most characteristic 

 parts and must suffice to distinguish the species until more material 

 will allow of sectioning and show the nature of the chylus cells, now 

 unknown.

pi. xvn, figs. 4, 5; text-fig. 80.
