right ureter was about as large in diameter as the corresponding 

 ureter of the pig in question. It started from the pelvis of 

 the kidney and followed a similar course down to the bladder. 

 The left ureter was also well developed ; it began from the pelvis 

 of the left kidney, passed downward parallel with the hypogastric 

 artery for about 15 millimeters behind the broad ligament of 

 the uterus, and then made a turn medially for about 5 milli- 

 meters and buried itself in the lower pole of the bladder. The 

 ovaries were both normally placed, and the right measured 4

by 2.75 by 2 millimeters. The rest of the abdominal organs 

 appeared normal and corresponded identically with those in the 

 specimen. 



Owing probably to prolonged fixation in formalin there was a 

 generalized contraction of the tissues of our specimen. All the 

 sections were stained with Delafield's hsematoxylin and eosin. 



Sections from the right ovary showed a richly vascular me- 

 dulla and a cortex studded irregularly with primitive follicles, 

 many of which contained a well-formed ovum. Between these 

 follicles, and embedded in a reticulum of young connective tissue, 

 cords of Pfliiger were plainly seen. The stroma of both the 

 medulla and the cortex was composed of young connective tissue 

 cells covered by a germinal epithelium which was torn in many- 

 places. The outer end of the right oviduct was also sectioned 

 and stained. It showed a well-formed lumen lined with pseu-
