Sexual Organs of Teleostei. t|— In a monograph on the anatomy 

 and histology of the reproductive organs of bony fishes, Dr. J. Brock 

 describes both the coarse and the minute structure of these organs in 

 a large number of types. We abstract the following from the 

 histological portion of the paper. 



Male Organs. — The minute structure of the testis, like its external
