MR. F. B. BEDDARD ON A 



[May 22, 



The orifices of the oviducts appear to be upon the fourteenth 

 segment. On this segment and between the veutral setae is a small 

 convex quadrangular area with rounded angles. I believe that the 

 actual pores are placed at the sides of this convexity in the valley 

 which separates it from the surrounding integument, but I have 

 not seen them. 



Ventral surface of Bcnhamin budgetti. The clitellar segments are numbered. 



The orifices of the spermiducnl glands are upon the xviith and 

 xixth segmeuts. The usual furrow connects the two pores of each 

 side. This furrow is on both sides bowed outwards ; it passes 

 outside of the position of the ventral setae of the xviiith segment ; 

 but the setas themselves I have not succeeded in seeing, nor the 

 apertures of the sperm-duct. 



Structure of the body-wall. — Very few examples of this genus
