the tefticles, partly in the cavity of the abdomen, above the os pubis or fhare-bone ;)

fo are carried along to the flanks and fhare-bone, which for that puitpofe have a 
flight cavity. After being turned back downwards, they pafs above the ureters, 
and under the hinder part of the bladder ; above the inteftinum refum, at the neck of 
the bladder, they are on each fide widened, and there conttitute the feminal ‘blad- 
ders. Veficule feminales, the feminal bladders, are the end or termination of the vafa 
deferentia: after the conftitution of theft bladders, thefe carrying vefféls are united 
into one {mall paffage, and are inferted into the proftate. Thefe bladders are many 
in number like little cells, and feem to make on each fide one remarkable great and!
