are numbers of young follicles of various ages, the youngest 

 being nearest to the testis. The connective-tissue body of the 

 stalk is confluent with the tunica albuginea of the testicular 

 portion of the gonad, which is somewhat thickened in the region 

 of junction. 



The sections of the oviducts revealed in their anterior portions 

 a typical structure. They are lined with a well developed 

 ciliated and glandular epithelium, the lumen of the duct being 

 filled with the coagulated secretion of the gland-cells. Sperma- 

 tozoa were not detected.

The appearance of the epididymis was quite normal, but no 

 spermatozoa were found in the lumen of the vas deferens, and 

 examination of the sections failed to reveal the presence of 

 vasa efierentia through which the spermatozoa normally pass 

 from gonad to epididymis.
