VII. ON THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE URINOGENITAL 

 ORGANS OF VERTEBRATES 1 . 



RECENT discoveries 2 as to the mode of development and 

 anatomy of the urinogenital system of Selachians, Amphibians, 

 and Cyclostome fishes, have greatly increased our knowledge 

 of this system of organs, and have rendered more possible a 

 comparison of the types on which it is formed in the various 

 orders of vertebrates.
