cians and one Surgeon, and I gave them the pretended 
Ovaria in their Hands, and they agreed, that not one 
Ovum was miffing out of the Ovaria. Then I ask'd 
them what they thought ? how it was poffible that 
liich an Ovum could pals thro* the Falloppian Tube ? 
Whereupon the one laid, that the Ovarium was quite 
out of doors, and that it was nothing but Ibme flelhy 
Subllance. But the other faid, that notwithllanding 
this, all Animals came from an Egg, and the lalt told 
me, that he believed that Tube to be neither of a Sheep 
nor a Lamb ; but I Ihew’d them that it was from an 
Ewe which at leall had lamb’d twice, and yet that the 
Tube was neither thicker nor wider than the Tube of 
a Lamb. Here I could oblerve more than ever, how 
hard it is to bring Mankind off from their Prejudices,

the Eggs might be oblerv’d. See Fig. 3. A B C D E is 
the Ovarium^ which was on that fide of the Uterus, 
in which the Foetus had lain. You mull obferve that 
the Uterus of a Sheep is divided by a Membrane, 
lb that the young ones cannot touch one another. 
D E A is the part where it was fallened. In this Ova- 
rium you may obferve a round Protuberance, which 
is belet with leveral others ; this great Protuberance is 
what is called an This Ovarium not here 
reprefented fo large, as it was, when I cut it off from 
the Parts that it grew to. There was befides, at 
one fide of that Ovarium, a large round Body, grown 
to the Ovarium, which feem’d alfo to be an Ovum. 
Tliis is delineated in Fig. 4. F G, on which there ap- 
pear’d leveral other little round Bodies protuberant from 
it. Now on the other fide of the Uterus, there was a
