root, between vliich three isolated papillee appeared very distinct, 

 forming the three angles of a triangle. The submaxillary glands 

 were l-į- in length, -į- inch in breadth, and ^ in thickness. 



" To the above details I am able, through the kindness of Mr. 

 Rymer Jonės, to add a description of the organs of generation, 

 illustrated by a sketch, M'hich that gentleman was so obUging as to 

 make from the parts dissected. In removing the skin from the 

 animal the penis had been injured. 



" The bladder was 1^ inch in length and į in breadth, its shape 

 being oval. The muscular coat was tliick. The fibres ■vvere ga- 

 thered into strong transverse rugce on the anterior and posterior 

 aspects of the visais, -vvhile laterally they formed two longitudinal 

 bands, each -į^ inch in breadth, running from the f undus to the neck. 

 Beneath the transverse groups of fibres another set v/as found af- 

 fecting a longitudinal direction. 



" The end of the penis being deficient, — what remained mea- 

 suring 1^ inch, — the urethra measured 5 inches in length ; the 

 length of its prostatic portion being 2-I- inches, of the membranous -į, 

 of the spongy 1^. Its circumference at the neck of the bladder and 

 throughout the prostatic portion was -į of an inch, at the membra- 

 nous portion only 1-į- line, at the bulbous portion it ■vvas again di- 

 lated to -i of an inch. The lining membrane presented no folds, 

 but was perforated along the \vhole prostatic portion by innumerable 

 microscopic apertures arranged in parallel rows, through ■vvhich on 

 sąueezing the prostate its secretion oozed. 



" The ureters entered the bladder by two little apertures placed 

 close together immediately above its neck. 



" The vasa deferentia terminated by two small orifices upon the 

 under surface of the urethra, about 2 lines from the commencement 

 of its prostatic portion. 



" The prostate, 24 inches in length, inclosed the commencement 

 of the urethra for that extent, ■with a glandular envelopment -iVths 

 of an inch in thickness. Its commencement was marked by a decided 

 line of black matter, and the first half inch of its extent was 

 tinged by the šame dark substance, resembling in colour the section 

 of a bronchial gland. The succeeding inch ynas, of a creamy white 

 hue, while the lašt portion presented a dingy green tinge. Its ducts 

 have been described. 



" Cowper's glands were two in number on each side, flask-shaped, 

 of the size of large peas, soft in texture, of a vphite colour, and 

 \\Tapped in a fibrous envelope. The ducts from the glands on each 

 side joined before entering the urethra, and the four opened by two 

 orifices, at the commencement of the bulbous portion of that tube. 



" The bulb of the corpus spongiosum was divided into two parts, 

 each of an oblong shape, |ths of an inch in length, and \ in thick- 

 ness ; the parietės formed by a strong musele constituting nearly the 

 ■tthole mass.
