ON THE ANATOMY, &C. 



vagina, toward the circumference of the labia, 

 which give these parts a considerable resemblance 

 to the aims. The crura of the labia become ex- 

 tremely thin as they descend toward the anus, 

 which is provided with its proper sphincter, and is 

 divided from the pudenda, by a perinaeum rather 

 more than half an inch in breadth. 



There are no vestiges of nymphae, or labia inter- 

 na, unless we suppose the labia already described to 

 correspond to them ; in which case, the labia exter- 

 na must be considered as wanting in this animal. 



At the entrance to the vagina, is a small dupli- 

 cature or fold of the skin lining the parts, which 

 perhaps may be considered as a hymen. 



The vagina presents nothing peculiar. It leads 

 to a very small uterus, which, in form, is just the 

 human womb reversed. Its fundus is the apex of 

 the pear, and its greatest diameter is just at the 

 cervix. The ovaria are large in proportion to the 

 uterus, and have a greenish-grey colour. The Fal- 

 lopian tubes are shorter and flatter than in the hu- 

 man subject, and have their extremities much fim- 

 briated. The ligaments of the uterus generally re- 

 semble those that connect the human womb with 

 the pelvis. 



Between the ovaries and the Fallopian tubes, we 

 found on each side a small yellowish body of a flat- 

 tened irregular shape. It is placed in the broad 

 ligament, and was very tender in its structure.
