260 Memoirs of the Indian Museum. [Vol. VII, 



There was much flocculent matter in segments x and xi, and much of it was tena- 

 cious and iridescent, seeming to indicate the presence of seminal funnels ; but neither 

 testes nor funnels were actually identified. The seminal vesicles are four pairs, but 

 they are not always symmetrical in each segment ; thus in ix there was a large one 

 on the right, a small one on the left, while in x the condition was the opposite ; in 

 xi there was a separate round lobe on the left side in addition to the normal vesicle. 

 The vesicles are usually deeply lobed. 



There were no prostates. 



The ovaries have the usual situation. I can confirm the presence of ovisacs in 

 xiv ; there appears to be a pair of exactly similar structures in xv. 



The spermathecae, which were not present in Rosa's specimen, are in four series 

 on each side, each series consisting of a transverse row of five, opening in furrows 

 13/14-16/17. In addition there was a single one on the right side opening in 12/13. 

 Each spermatheca is a small ovoid or irregularly elongated saccule, its blind end direct- 

 ed backwards, and the whole adherent to the body-wall. The position of the five 

 organs on each side is thus: — one in each of the lines a, b, c, and d, and one between 

 b and c.
