In Helictis, on the other hand, this membrane is of much less 
extent. It is only attached to about half the length of the 
pancreas and is inserted on to the mesocolon along a line which 
begins a little before the left kidney but ends at about its middle. 
This characteristic difference is illustrated in the figures (text- 
Imes, Wh, 10),

$ Ovary and Broad Ligament. 
As is very frequently, if not constantly, the case with the 
Arctoidea, the ovary is completely encapsuled and thus continuous, 
anatomically, with the Fallopian tube. 
An interesting point concerns the suspension of the ovary and 
oviducal canal. The mesoarium is continued forwards for a short 
distance in front of the ovary, running attached to the parietes 
to the outside of the kidney. In Galictis there is the same 
forward prolongation of this fold, which has the same position in 
relation to the kidney, but it extends much further forward on
