From the shell-gland the vagina runs anteriorly to the poral lobe of the ovary and opens into the genital atrium posteriorly to the cirrus-sac. The vagina, especially at the distal end is strongly muscular, but it apj)ears that there is no differentiated portion which might be described as a distinct sphincter. The uterus has four or five main branches on each side of the median longitudinal stem, and these divide again into up to six secondary branches (fig. 3). Only one
