Behind spermaries are funnel-shaped openings of sperm ducts which are seen running along the body to their external orifice on xvuith segment, sperm sacs behind the posterior of these and in segment xiii is seen the large ovary corresponding in position to the spermary and opposite to each ovary the oviduct, (x 3.)
