 covering of the organ. To the median side of the Wolffian body is appended the 

 large anlage of the genital gland, Gen, which has a constricted connection with 

 the Wolffian body. Each gland is covered by mesothelium and extends until

 tissue, one, the anlage of the medullary, the other of the cortical portion of the 

 gland. The medullary tissue resembles the neighboring mesenchyma and occu-
