All figures natural size. 
Fig. 1.—Tarsius spectrum. A pregnant uterus in the latest stages. 
In Fig. 1 the barren horn of the uterus, with coiled oviduct aud ovary, are yet 
visible on the top of the swelling that contains the foetus. The other ovary 
protrudes in the left lower border of the figure. At the right lower border

Fies. 3—5.—Three uteri of Nycticebus tardigradus. Figs. 3 and 5 
front views. Fig. 4 viewed from above to show the peculiar shape of the 
uterine horns. In the latter figure the vagina and the two ligamenta ro- 
tunda are bent forwards from under the horns. Ovaries partly hidden 
from view by fold, including oviduct. Fig. 5 is the stage furthest advanced ; 
the fully ripe foetus reaches up to four times this size.
