Fig. 30. Transverse sections of the inner limb of a spermatheca near its blindend. The muscle fibres are here cut obliquely or transversely, owing to theirspiral disposition. The appearance of the inner and outer zones in the epithelialcells is shown, and the several nucleoli and indications of an intra-nuclear net-work. Haem. X 840. Fig. 31. Omitted.
