a male and a female, and both of the children did 

 well." l 



In a case reported by Dr. Granville, of London, 

 to the Koyal Society, 3 the left Fallopian tube and ovary 

 of a woman forty years old were entirely wanting ; 

 yet she had been the mother of eleven children of 

 both sexes ; and, " a few days before her death, had 

 been delivered of twins one male and one female." ' 



" M. Jadelot, too, has given the dissection of a fe- 

 male who had been delivered of several children 

 boys and girls ; and yet she had no ovary or Fallopian 

 tube on the right side. Lepelletier asserts that he saw 

 a similar case in the hospital at Mans, in 1825, and 

 the Recueils of the Societe de Medecine of Paris con- 

 tains the history of an extra-uterine gestation, in which 

 a male foetus was contained in the left ovary." ' 



Mr. J. Buckingham, of Zanesville, Ohio, gives the 

 following report of an experiment made by himself 

 to test the truth of this theory : " Taking a boar," he 

 says, " I took out his left testicle, and turned him into 

 a lot with three sows, one of which had her left ova- 

 ries (ovary) out, the other the right ones (one) out, 

 and one not spayed. The next lot had a boar with 

 his right testicle out, and three sows fixed as the 

 others had been. The next lot had a boar and three 

 sows fixed as the first three had been. Now for the 

 result : Every sow had from seven to nine pigs.
