In the figure the lancets are moved one side to show the barbs and valves; normally they are held close together, and thus form the lube (Fig. 51, N). At the base of the central awl two flexible arms (Fig. 52, b b) run out and up, where they articulate with Fig. sting of Worker Bee, modified from Hyatt and Bryant, Strong levers (Fig. 52, Z>, Z?). The two lancets are sim- ularly curved and closely joined to the flexible arms by the same dove-tailed groove and projection already described. These lancets connect at their ends (Fig. 52, c, c) with heavy triangular levers (Fig. 53, ^, i?), and these in turn with both C and D atj and s. All of these levers, which also serve as fulcra (Fig. 52, B, C and D), are very broad and so give great space for muscular attachment (Fig. 52, m). These muscles, by action, serve to compress the poison sac, also cause the lever (Fig. $2,B) to rotate about.
