net-like anastomosis of connective tissue, not connected with 

 the tunica propria of the egg-tubes. This tissue is thickened 

 on the surface of the ovary, and forms a capsule which is con- 

 tinued over the end fibres and the oviduct.'

 says that ' it differs widely from the peritoneal tissue of Peri-

plain t a in not being formed from the tissue of the fat bodies,

 leads too far, since in the majority of cases tissues termed 

 peritoneal arc im-rely cellular connective elements mixed with 

 fibres and tracheal vessels, and the fat bodies themselves are 

 men- ni'i.liiicHtions of the same tissue.
