3. On the Spermatophores of the Earthworms of the Genus 

 Benhamia. By Frank E. Beddabd, M.A., F.lt.S. 



[Received November 19, 1901.] 

 (Text-figures 92-94.) 



At the present moment little is known of the spermatophores 

 in this genus, except the fact that they occur in several species. 

 . v o far us I am aware the following is the extent of our knowledge 

 on this matter. Dr. Michaelsen has reported upon the structure 

 of the spermatophore of Benhamia monticola? in the following 

 words : — "Past jede der untersuchten Samentaschen enthieli eine 

 grosse Spermatophore, die den groseten Theil des Raumes der 

 Tasche in Anspruch nahm. Eine solche Spermatophore hat die 

 Gestalt einer langhalsigen Karaffe. Der Bauch derselben liegt 

 in deni Hauptraum der Samentasche, der rohrenformige Hals in 

 dem Ausfiihrungsgang. Das aussere Ende des Hakes schien bei 

 den herauspreparirten Spermatophore offen zu sein ; doch isl i - 

 moglich das ein Verschluss abgef alien ist." A briefer note in tli<- 

 same memoir concerns the spermatophore of Benhamia itiolemis.
