OF THE FOETUS. 295 



loplan tubes ; but inftances of this kind muft be 

 rare. 



Anatomifts mention, that foetufes have been 

 found, not only in the Pallopian tubes, but hke- 

 wife in the ovaria. M. Theroude *, a furgeon 

 in Paris, fhowed to the academy a rude mafs 

 which he found in the right ovarium of a girl of 

 18 years of age. Two open fiiTures, garnifhed 

 with hair like the eye-lids, were perceived in this 

 mafs. Above thefe eye-lids was a kind of front, 

 with a black line in place of eye-brows. Imme- 

 diately above the front, there were feveral hairs 

 collected into two feparate pencils, one of them a- 

 bout feven inches long, and the other three. Below 

 the angle of the eye, two Urge, hard, white, 

 dentes molares appeared, together with their 

 gums : Thefe teeth were about three lines lo,ng, 

 and about a line diftant from each other. Se- 

 veral other teeth appeared, fituatexi at different 

 diftances. In the fame volume t, M. Mery is 

 reported to have found in the ovarium of a v/o- 

 man an upper jaw-bone, with feveral teeth in 

 it, fo perfed: that they appeared to he at leaJl 

 of ten years growth. In the Medical Jour- 

 nal, pubhfhed by the Abbe de Ja Roque J, we 

 have the hiftory of a woman, who died of her 

 ninth child, which had been formed in or fiear 

 one of the ovaria ; for, from the defcription, it 

 is not clear whether the child was within the o- 



varuim^
