[...] It will thus be seen that the foot on its right-hand side forms a temporary tube for the conveyance of the eggs from the female generative aperture to the sole of the foot ; the sole of the foot rolls the eggs together to form the egg-mass and holds this mass until all the eggs are laid ; and that the whole process of oviposition is accomplished by means of the muscular contraction of the foot. [...] f. , foot of the female attached to the glass side of the aquarium ; m. c. , mantle cavity of the female ; p. s. , small exposed portion of the penis-sheath of the male ; t. , one of the tentacles of the male.
