 to the epoophorcm and, 'therefore, nearer the uterus. It consists of a small Hat, 

 insularly round group of blind canals, which represent the remains of \\olman 

 tubules ' The a. curacy of Waldeyer' s assumption that this organ is homologous with

R v -covered similar groups of rudimentary tubules within the 



lateral part d the mrsosalpinx near the division of the ovarian artery, in a position 

 corresponding to that of the paradidymis. It is to this group, therefore, that the 

 term, paroophoron, may be applied with greater propriety, although there can be 

 little doubt that both sets of tubules are deviations from those of the Wolffian body. 

 The tubules are blind, lined with columnar epithelium, and in places resemble the 

 tortuous canals of the \Volffian body. Apart from their interesting morphological 

 relations, they may become of importance as the seat of cysts. 



Vesicular Appendages. Under this heading are included the little vesicles or

pedi< li I h< - structures present two general groups, the* first including the con- 



long-Malked hydatidsoi Morgagni, and the second the smaller vesicles, vary- 



ing yi form and si/.e, connected by short stems. The hydatid of Morgagni, present 



on one or both sides in fifty per cent, or over of all female subjects, is a spherical or 



pyriform thin walled sac, that contains a clear fluid, and usually measures from 4-8 



mm. in diameter, but sometimes much more, and is attached by a slender stalk

ilishedtlut the chief hydatid of Morgagni is derived 



i th- upper end of the Woltfi.m pronephric ) duct, and is, therefore, the equivalent

 epoophoron (Rossa;. and. hence, are derivatives of the Wolilian tubules.
