The spermatozoa of the frog pass through the substance of the kidney into the ureter. In many species of frogs the free portion of the ureter is dilated to form a seminal recep- tacle in which the spermatozoa are stored against the time of their discharge from the body. The seminal receptacle is poorly developed in Katia pipiens and R. Catesbiana. In the European species R. fusca it becomes very large and divided into a number of compartments.
