THE CYPRINODONTS. 77 
the ovary, and the disposition of their openings, above the shutter, are indi- 
cated, from a dextral female, on Plate VII. Fig. 14. Valenciennes’ state- 
ment, “ Quant A la femelle, ses ovaires sont doubles; mais le gauche est 
beaucoup plus gros que le droit; celui-ld ne dépasse pas cependant la portion 
élargie du foie,” no doubt was correct for the individual he had in hand. It 
is incorrect as a general description. In different females the ovaries vary 
greatly: in some cases one side is the larger, in other specimens it is the 
other side, and occasionally the ovary appears to be single. Fig. 5 of Plate 
VIL was taken from a female in which both sides of the ovary were well 
developed, the right half being a trifle the larger, while Fig. 4 of the 
same plate represents a specimen in which the right side of the ovary 
apparently is so enormously enlarged as to nearly fill the entire abdominal 
chamber without any indication of a left side or of a doubled ovary. In this 
individual the intestines were empty and crowded far forward, while the liver 
was greatly reduced in size, indications that before capture the usual feed- 
ing habits had been suspended for a time. An intestinal fold, seen in Fig. 
5 of Plate VII, in front of the middle of the ovary, is bisected in Fig. 16 of 
the same plate. Each kidney and each testis pours its secretions into its 
proper receptacle by a distinct canal; the openings into the chambers are 
separate.
