EXTKA-UTEEINE PKEGNANOY 143 



Veterinary literature mentions a few cases of vaginal preg- 

 nancy (graviditas vaginalis), (Deigendesch, Bosetto-Macario, 

 Strebel). In these cases it is questionable whetlier the foetuses, 

 already dead when found, developed at all in the vagina. It is 

 more reasonable to presume that they came from the uterus 

 and remained in the vagina (Franck), and as a result of their 

 presence caused disturbances of the vaginal mucosa, resulting 

 in a roughened and shaggy state. Strebel describes a case 

 where vaginal and uterine pregnancy existed at the same time. 

 The foetus lying in the vagina was expelled at the fifth month, 

 the other at the normal time.
