m a pool in Dyrehaven near Springforbi. In Jutland it was taken 
in a trench between Nørre Nebel and Nymindegab with very fer 
ruginous water. 
While the male of 7. ignavus occurs about as abundantly as the 
female this is not the case with I. Jongicaudatus; though I have 
collected a lot of specimens I have not met with a single male. 
I give the measurements for a female with two eggs in the 
uterus.

In one female specimen I have found a peculiar monstrosity:

Postvaginal. But between the vulva and the anus occur four well

males of this species and in no respect to be distinguished from these. 
No spicules are found and, as far as can be seen, no testes; apart
