 rabbit, and he found in the ovaria fome empty 

 follicles, which were larger, harder, and more 

 red than thofe he had formerly obferved j and 

 he perceived as many tranfparent tumors in dif- 

 ferent parts of the uterus ; and, having opened 

 them, he took out the eggs, which were as large 

 as fmall piJJol bullets. The internal membrane 

 was more dillincft than formerly ; and *.. ithin this 

 membrane he faw nothing but a very clear li- 

 quor. In another, dilTedled eight days after co- 

 pulation, he found in the uterus the tumors or 

 Cells which contain the egg ; but they adhered 

 fo ilrongly to the uterus, that he could not de- 

 tach them. In another, which he opened nine 

 days after copulation, he found the cells con- 

 taining the eggs greatly enlarged ; and he per- 

 ceived, in the middle of the liquor inclofed by 

 (he internal membrane, a fmall thin cloud. In 

 another, which he opened ten days after copu- 

 lation, the fmall cloud was thicker and darker^

 Laftly, twelve days after copulation, he diftindly 

 perceivjed the embryo, which, though two days 

 before it was only an oblong body, was now io 

 apparent, that he could diflinguilh its different 

 members. In the region of the brcall, he faw 

 two red and two white points, and, in the ab-
