The generative organs of the larger females (fig. 291) consist of the ovary developed in the ligament; of a complicated uterine bell, beginning with a free opening into the body cavity; of the oviduct and the short vagina, which is divided into several portions and opens at the posterior end of the body (tig. 291). It is only in the young stage that the ovary is a simple body en- closed by the membrane of the above-men- tioned ligament. As the animal increases in size, the ovary grows, and becomes divided into numerous spherical masses of eggs, the pressure of which bursts the membrane of the ligament; the ma:->ody cavity into the uterine bell, w h i c h is continually dilating and contracting, thence into the oviduct, and through the genital opening to the exterior. a.
