The oviducts appear as a fine cord of trans- parent cells on either side of the body (Fig. 17 a). As maturity approaches the anterior and ventral border of the saddle-shaped ovary takes on a deep brown colour in the pre- served specimen and can be seen to be made up of a line of large dark cells each with a circular nucleus (Fig. 17 b). This border of enlarged cells, the young eggs, extends from the most anterior part of the ovary under the carapace along the ventro-l
