ABSTRACT
Experimental evidence is produced to show that during metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster:
The growth-of the lateral oviducts depends on an influence of the ovaries.
The growth of the ovaries does not depend on a reciprocal influence.
The growth of the vasa deferentia is independent of any influence from the testis.

This part, which connects by a fine ‘testicular duct’ with the testis, is termed vas deferens by some but vas efferens by others, who reserve the name vas deferens for the ejaculatory duct.
