They extend from segment xvii. to segment xx. Anteriorly the 

 glands extend round towards the middle of the body beyond the 

 point of opening of their duct, The whole contour of the gland 

 is thus somewhat ear-shaped. In A. trinitatis the glands are 

 longer and of an even diameter throughout. The accompanying 

 drawing (fig. 2) will show the difference between the two species 

 in this respect. The duct of the gland, too, is rather longer in the 

 present species.

The spermatheca? (fig. 2) are four pairs and he in segments 

 vi.-ix. Their orifices to the exterior are not so dorsally placed as 

 in A. trinitatis. The pouch, too, is distinctly different in form and 

 the relations of its component parts. The duct of the pouch is 

 longer than the pouch and broadens towards the external orifice.
