ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 
Into the two horns, one on each side of the loins, these 
afterwards terminating in the fallopian tubes to which 
the ovaria are attached. From each ovarium there is a 
small fold of the peritoneum, which passes up towards 
the kidney of the same side, as in most quadrupeds. 
The inside of the vagina is smooth for about one half of 
Its length, and then begins to form something like valves 
projecting towards the mouth of the vagina, each like an 
os tincae ; these are about seven, eight, or nine in number. 
Where they begin to form they hardly go quite round, 
hut the last are complete circles. At this part too, the 
vagina becomes smaller, and gradually decreases in width 
to its termination. From the last projecting part the 
passage is continued up to the opening of the two horns, 
and the inner surface of this last part is thrown into 
longitudinal rugae, which are continued into the horns. 
Whether this last part is to be reckoned common uterus 
or vagina, and that the last valvular part is to be consi- 
dered as os tincae, I do not know ; but, from its having 
the longitudinal rugae, I am inclined to think it is 
uterus; this structure appearing to be intended for 
distinction. The horns are an equal division of this 
part ; they make a gentle turn outwards, and are of con- 
siderable length ; their inner surface is thrown into 
longitudinal rugae without any small protuberences for 
the colytodons to form upon, as in those of ruminating 
animals, and where they terminate the fallopian tubes 
begin. 
The fallopian tubes, at their termination in the uterus, 
are remarkably small, and then begin to dilate rather
