Fig. 24 (X 2) -- Adult specimens. Fig. 25 (X 55) -- Entire specimen magnified and viewed in optical section from the ventral aspect (the three parts of the figure should be continuous). The parts of the drawing round the sexual openings, and the ovary have been made somewhat diagrammatic for the sake of clarity and the uterus is in actuality full of eggs. The vitellaria and other fine ducts are not shown. The vitellaria in actuality surround the testes in the testicular region--vide fig. 28.
