exfpectant ovipara] As mentioned 

 in the Introduction, Steno later on ar* 

 rived at a far more correct view of this 

 question, being the first to state that 

 the testes of the females of the vivipa» 

 rous animals were the same organs as 

 those called the ovaria in oviparous ani« 

 mals, and that also their function was 

 exactly the same. See XXIV vol. II pp.

ut in ranis] See Malpighius' De Pul= 

 monibus Epistolee II ad Borellium. Bo* 

 noniae 1661. — Malpighius was the first 

 to discover, by means of the microscope, 

 that the ramifications of the trachea termi* 

 nate in small vesiculae (alveoli) sur» 

 rounded by a fine network af arteries and 

 veins. But it was not until he had begun 

 to investigate lower animals, like frogs, 

 that he succeeded in proving the ana» 

 stomosis of the arteries with the veins 

 through the capillaries. As to Steno's 

 earlier view of this discovery see XI p.
