Each testis gives off from its anterior end a long coiled tube, the vas deferens, which passes along on either side of the dorsal middle line to open posteriorly into the uro- genital sinus. Connected with its posterior end is the sperm-sac. The anterior half of the vas deferens is sur- rounded by an epididyinis and the posterior half is in close contact with the inner edge of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Masterman, Arthur Thomas; Parsons, John Herbert, Sir, 1868-1957, donor; S.
