For the spermatophores deposited on 10 December 1981 by the male from Amami- oshima, w^e continued observation for ten days, in order to witness the way the female took up these spermatophores. Unfortunately, how- ever, the female showed no particular response, and the spermatophores became gradually smaller day by day. Therefore, we gave up further observation and observed these sper- matophores under a phase-contrast micro- scope. In the white portion of the spermato- phore, we could observe numerous sperms.
