444 JWr. Hunter’s Obfervations on the 
nued up to the opening of the two horns, and the inner fur- 
face of this laft part is thrown into longitudinal rugae, which 
are continued into the horns. Whether this laft part is to be 
reckoned common uterus or vagina, and that the laft valvular 
# 
part is to be confidered as os tineas, I do not know ; but from 
its having the longitudinal rugae, I am inclined to think it 
is uterus, this ftruTure appearing to be intended for diftindtion. 
The horns are an equal divifion of this part ; they make a 
gentle turn outwards, and are of confiderable length. Their 
inner furface is thrown into longitudinal rugae, without any 
fmall protuberances for the cotyledons to form upon, as in 
thofe of ruminating animals ; and where they terminate, the 
Fallopian tubes begin. 
In the Bottle-nofe Whale, where the Fallopian tubes opened 
into the horns of the uterus, they were furrounded by pendu- 
lous bodies hanging loofe in the horns. 
The Fallopian tubes, at their termination in the uterus, are 
remarkably fmall for fome inches, and then begin to dilate 
rather fuddenly ; and the nearer to the mouth the more this 
dilatation increafes, like the mouth of a French horn, the ter- 
mination of which is five or fix inches in diameter. Thev are 
V 
very full of longitudinal rugae through their whole length. 
The ovaria are oblong bodies, about five inches in length ; 
one end attached to the mouth of the Fallopian tube, and the 
other near to the horn of the uterus. They are irregular on 
their external furface, refembling a capfula renalis or pancreas. 
They have no capfula, but what is formed by the long Fal- 
lopian tube. 
How the male and female copulate, I do not know ; but it 
is alledged, that their pofition in the water is ere£t at that 
time, which I can readily fuppofe may be true ; for otherwife,
