The vitellaria or yolk glands are race-mose structures occupying the cortical layer of thesegment in the lateral liclds; their numerous ductsconverge and vdtiniately unite into the common yolkduct noted above. The paired ovaries lie one oneither side of the shell gland in the posterior region ofthe proglottis and the oviduct joines the vagina andyolk duct in the shell gland. From the union ofthese ducts originates a canal which expands and as. Fia. 1343.—Ventral Aspect of Sexually Mature Proglottis of Dibolhriocephalus latus. Showing Female Reprodurtive ) (C/. Fig. 130S.) X 12. (After C the uterus lying in irregular loops ventral to the vasdeferens extends forward to the special uterineorifice, a simple pore in the midventral line a shortdistance behind the common opening of cirrus andvagina. In the last proglottides the uterus is of eggs and the genital glands are atrophied. Development.—Ripe proglottids contain numbers ofbrownish, elliptical eggs in which may be distinguishedthe egg cell surrounded by masses of yolk cells. Theseeggs are discharged abundantly in the feces of thehost. After lying in water several weeks a ciliatedonchosphere (Fig. 1311) is hatched out and .swimsslowly about in the surrounding water.
