In Branchipus the ovi-ducts are widened out at their ends and enter a uterus in which the eggs remain for atime receiving a shell yielded by special uterine glands. The uterus lies in a pouchformed by a concrescence of genital prominences, the modified limbs of the two genitalsegments (12th and 13th trunk segments). The vasa deferentia are also widened out at their ends (sperm vesicles) and entera muscular ductus ejaculatorius, which, when the penis is evaginated, is drawn out R.
