 aspect of the cloaca. . 



Female: The convoluted ovaries reach within 4 mm. of the 

 head end. The divergent uteri lie side by side for most of 

 their course. Each is provided with a well-developed muscular 

 ovejector. The posterior ovejector loops caudad of the vulvar

Bursa. The male bursa conforms to the usual type. The 

 dorsal lobe is slightly longer than the lateiul lobes. The bursa is 

 •8 mm. in length and '6 mm. in breadth. The venti-al, lateral and 

 externo-dorsal rays are arranged in a similar fashion, as seen in 

 the other species. The dorsal ray is -67 mm. in length. It 

 bifurcates in its lower third. The terminal branches are slender 

 and long. The lateral branch sej)arates first. 



Genital cone. — The genital cone is fairly long and pointed. 

 The cloacal opening lies near its apex. 



Pre-hitrsal 2)0j'pillce- — These lie on the lateral lines '75 mm. fi-om
