   in 
  1669 
  compared 
  the 
  fry 
  to 
  a 
  drop 
  of 
  melted 
  tallow 
  

   which 
  had 
  fallen 
  on 
  a 
  solid 
  l)ody 
  aud 
  hardened, 
  remark- 
  

   ing

  that

   Deshayes, 
  in 
  1846, 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  indicate 
  the 
  true 
  

   position 
  of 
  the 
  reproductive 
  organs. 
  Little 
  exact 
  knowl- 
  

   edge 
  had 
  been 
  acquired, 
  however, 
  previous 
  to 
  the 
  time 
  

   of 
  Davaine,

  Coste, 
  from 
  1852 
  to 
  1857. 
  

   To 
  Leeuwenhoek 
  belongs 
  the 
  honor, 
  however, 
  of 
  having 
  

   made 
  the 
  discovery 
  of 
  the 
  existence 
  of 
  spermatozoa 
  ; 
  he 
  

   believed 
  moreover, 
  that 
  the 
  sexes 
  were 
  sej^arate.
