connected with each other either across the middle line or antero- 

 posteriorly ; they are scarcely distinct from the sperm sacs. 



I can not distinguish from these examples, which are labeled 

 "Benguet Province, Luzon, altitude 5,000 ft," others from Pauai 

 in the same province. In particular, the remarkable arrange- 

 ment of the spermathecse is the same. 



The spermiducal glands are rather large and extend through 

 segments XVI — XIX. They vary somewhat in their exact 

 form and in the degree ^ of lobation of the gland tissue. In 

 cases where the lobation is most pronounced, the gland is di- 

 vided transversely (that is, to the longitudinal axis of the body) 

 into finger-like, elongated segments; in others, it is subdivided 

 into a greater number of smaller, rounded segments. In fact, 

 there appears to be no very definite type of gland. All that 

 can be said is that the spermiducal gland is much lobate. The 

 duct is long and arises from about the middle of the gland; 

 it first of all runs forward for a variable distance and then 

 bends upon itself and passes backward to its orifice upon the 

 XVIIIth segment. I could discover no trace of a terminal bursa 

 copulatrix. 



The spermathecse of this species are very remarkable and quite 

 unlike anything that has fallen within my experience. In one 

 specimen there were 5 pairs of these sacs arranged in the fol- 

 lowing unusual fashion. The first 4 pairs open between seg- 

 ments IV/V and VII/VIII, respectively. The fifth and last pair 

 open on the next intersegmental furrow; that is, VIII/IX, but 

 are not in line with the preceding pairs ; their point of opening 

 is in fact very much nearer to the ventral median line. In a 

 second specimen I could find only 4 pairs of spermathecse of 

 which the last opened to the exterior between segments VIII/IX. 

 These spermathecse in the case of every pair were symmetrical 

 on both sides of the body. Again the spermathecal pores did 

 not open in line. The 2 first on each side were in line with each 

 other at the point of opening which was considerably external 

 to the points of opening to the exterior of the 2 following sper- 

 mathecse; these latter were in line with each other. In a third 

 example there were 5 spermathecse on the right side of the body 

 of which the last opened to the exterior between segments VIII/ 

 IX, and the orifice was much more ventral than those of the 4 

 anterior spermathecse which were in line. The spermathecse of 

 the opposite side of the body appeared to be entirely symmetrical 

 with these, and there is no doubt that the 2 last spermathecse 



' Sometimes with the addition of another segment.
