124 EXAMINATION OF 



vered two glandulous bodies upon the tefticles ; 

 but they had neither nipple nor fifTure, and no 

 liquor diftilled from them. 



In another bitch that had brought forth about 

 five whelps two months before, he found five 

 glandulous bodies ; but they were much dimi- 

 nifhed in fize, and they began to difappear, 

 without leaving any cicatrices. There remained 

 only a finall cavity in their centre ; but it con- 

 tained no liquor. 



Not fatisned with thefe, and many other ex- 

 periments, Vaiifiiieri, who paffionately defired 

 to difcover this pretended egg, called together 

 the beft anatomiits his country afforded, and, 

 among others, M. Morgagni ; and, having open- 

 ed a young bitch that was for the firft time in 

 feafon, and that had' been covered three days be- 

 fore, they examined the veficles of the tefticles, 

 the glandulous bodies with their nipples, their 

 canals, and the liquor in their internal cavities ; 

 but they could perceive no. eggs. He then, with 

 the fame intention, made experiments on flie- 

 goats, foxes, cats, a number of mice, &c. In 

 the tefticles of all thefe animals, he uniformly 

 found the veficles, and frequently the glandu- 

 lous bodies, with the liquor they contained ; 

 but no egg ever appeared. 



In fine, being defirous of examining the te- 

 fticles of women, he had an opportunity of o- 

 pening a young country-woman, who had been 

 fome years married, and who was killed by a 



fall
