The duct enters the réservoir dor- sally, The accessory-lube (at) of the réservoir ai'ises from the side thereof and lies laterally and dorsally — and more or less coiled — over the posterior part of the slomacli, lo w liich both it and the réservoir are attached by iiuuierous raniilicalions of fine trachéal tubes. The réservoirs are innervatcd by Iwo nerve- cords (n) which follow the reservoir-ducts down from the sub-œsophageal ganglion. AU the salivary ducts are nucleated ami \^z are marked transversely somewhat like trachéal tubes (e, fig. 3). In Enectus elongatus (1), as shown at fig. 4, the ducts of the réservoirs are zig-zag or ladder-like : the whole of this part is rather chitinous, wiry and elastic, and of great length when straightened out : the lumen of the duct is also narrow and the walls thick. The ducts are caught up by muscles and tracheae within tlie head (as in the former Bug), bend sharply and return to the réservoirs (sr) whicli in this instance are simple tubes. The upper part of each salivary-gland is bilobed, il) Tliis was desciibed as a new species l)y Mr. W. L. Distant in the « Auu. aud Mag. of Nat.
