Several pairs of individuals have remained, on tixation, in the position indicated in fig. 5. The manner in which the tail of the male is coiled round the constricted portion of the female is apparently constant. The tail makes two or three turns in the direction o£ a right-handed screw, but tlie last turn is reversed, so that the tip of the tail comes to lie in front of, instead of behind, the previous coil.
