(/) Oowper's glands, a pair of brown ovoid masses immediately 



behind the prostate. 

 (g) The rectal glands, a pair of brown bodies about an inch long, 



situated on either side of the rectum. 

 (h) The perinseal glands, similar in appearance to the rectal glands 

 but shorter, situated on either side of the penis. Trace their 

 ducts to their openings on the perinseal spaces. 

 Slit up the urethra, and continue the incision along the wall of the 

 bladder in the middle line. Note — 



(a) The openings of the ureters, on the dorsal wall of the bladder. 



(b) The verumontanum, a small papilla on the dorsal wall of the 



urethra immediately beyond the neck of the bladder. 



(c) The opening of the uterus masculinus, on the dorsal wall of 



the urethra anteriorly to the verumontanum. 



(d) The openings of the prostatic ducts, usually four in number, 



at the sides of the verumontanum. 

 The female rabbit. 



1. The urinary system — as in the male, except for the position of the 



openings of the ureters into the bladder. 



2. The reproductive system. Inflate the bladder and vagina from the 



urino-genital opening, and. remove the pubic symphysis by cutting 

 through the bones about a quarter of an inch from the middle line. 

 Note — 

 (a) The clitoris, corresponding in position and structure to the 



penis of the male. 

 (6) The vestibule, or urino-genital canal. 



(c) The vagina, running from the neck of the bladder upwards. 



(d) The two uteri, opening separately into the vagina. 



(e) The Fallopian tubes, continuous with the uteri, and suspended 



by folds of peritoneum — the broad ligaments : the fimbriated 

 ends of the Fallopian tubes lying near the ovaries. 



(/) The ovaries, a pair of ovoid bodies attached to the dorsal 

 wall of the abdomen : the Graafian follicles, small projec- 

 tions on the surfaces of the ovaries. 



(g) Oowper's glands, on the dorsal wall of the vestibule. 



(/i) The perineal and rectal glands, similar to those in the male. 



H. Dissection of the Head and Neck. 



(The following dissection is made chiefly ou account of its physiological 

 importance.) 



1 . Lay the skin well back on both sides of the neck, and observe the fol- 

 lowing muscles — 



(a) The platysma, a very thin superficial muscle : cut through this longi- 



tudinally in the middle line. 



(b) The sterno-mastoid, near the middle line, running from the sternum
