PAPIO MAIMON. 21 



The epiploon is very similar to that in the human : its anterior 

 attachment is the same : its posterior attachment is to the colon on the 

 right side, as in the human ; but it leaves the colon and passes along 

 the upper surface of the mesocolon to the left side, and on the left is 

 attached to the diaphragm, spleen, *fcc. It was divided into two bags, a 

 right and a left, by a partition ; but whether this was from disease or 

 was natural, I cannot say. 



The kidneys are conglobate; not quite so flat as in the human, 

 although not much rounder ; therefore somewhat more prominent, and 

 also not quite so much fixed to the loins. There is but one mammilla, 

 which is long, but the beginning of the medullary substance was some- 

 what separated. 



The skin of the penis is projecting and inverted, forming a prepuce when 

 not erected, but covering the elongated penis by [this] being pushed into it 

 when erected ; it is fixed to the penis by close cellular membrane for an 

 inch and a half behind the glans ; but is loosely connected to the penis 

 from that on to the common skin of the belly, which loose connexion 

 admits of the formation of the prepuce when the penis is in a state of 

 rest. The glans seems to be something superadded, as in the human, and 

 something of the same shape : it is split almost into two for a little way 

 at the end and lower part. The corpus spongiosum urethras is not con- 

 tinued along the membranous part of the urethra as in many quadru- 

 peds : the corpus cavernosum comes forward to near the glans, the re- 

 mainder of which is in part taken up with a bone : this bone passes on 

 into the glans, beyond where it is slit, so that the bone is continued 

 into one side of the urethra. 



The vesiculae seminales appear in the pelvis : a great part of them are 

 covered with the peritoneum : they are very large, and consist of one 

 main duct, sending off a number of others which again are subdivided, 

 and at last terminate in cells like those of the lungs. The duct of the 

 vesicula and the vas deferens communicate some way before they 

 enter the urethra. It would appear that there are two kinds of pro- 

 state glands, viz. one, as it were, enclosing the bladder, and another 

 close upon that : their structure and colour are different 1 . 



The scrotum is not so pendulous and circumscribed as in the human, 

 not having that determined neck which the human scrotum has, being- 

 much broader and flatter, so as not to be in a line with the abdomen. 



The perineum is very long, and may be said to take in the lower part 

 of the scrotum ; or that the anterior surface of the scrotum terminates 

 at once, or makes an angle with the perineum.
