Blale reproductive organs.—The testicles (fig. 3, t.) are of the usual oval shape, elongated dorso-ven- trall}^, measuring 60 to 120ju, in diam- eter, in number about 24. They are located in the lateral and posterior portions of the segment, inside of the inner layer of longitudinal muscles, extending forward to the anterior border of the segment on the dextral side. On the sinistral side of the segment the testicles do not extend so far forward, the an- terior third of the segment on this side being occupied by the vas deferens and seminal receptacle. In segments in which the female glands are at the height of their development the testicles in the middle third of the segment are IQo. Fig. 2.—Davainea ehynchota: Hooks.

In a segm-cnt containing 22 testicles, 9 were located on the left-hand (pore) side of the segment and 13 on the right-hand side. The vasa efferentia unite near the middle of the segment, toward the dorsal.
