The ova from the ruptured 
follicles of the second oestrus 
were in the caudal third of the 
oviduct in the morula stage 
of many cells, except one 
which was degenerate and un- 
. fertilised. 
The ruptured follicles were de- 
y finitely luteal. 
In the left ovary there was a 
large unruptured follicle of 
2-574 400 000 mm. 3 , with walls 
becoming luteal, and three 
degenerate unruptured follicles 
of -152 182 800 mm. 3 
In the right ovary were three 
degenerate unruptured follicles 
of -062 640 000 mm. 3
