Fig. 1. and 2. represent the vagina exposed in the same 
manner as in the former drawing, to shew its appearance. The 
first is during pregnancy ; and an orifice is seen close to the 
meatus urinarius, which leads to the uterus, and is not to be 
found in the virgin state. In the second, this orifice is so much 
enlarged as almost wholly to conceal the passage to the blad- 
der ; it puts on this appearance immediately after parturition. 
Fig. 3. an anterior view of the uterus and its appendages, 
immediately or a short time after parturition. 
a, the portion of the urinary bladder. 
b b, one of the canals leading from the vagina to the uterus. 
c c, the other canal, laid open. 
d d, the cavity of the uterus. 
e e, the openings of the fallopian tubes. 
ff a ridge made by a fold of the internal membrane. 
g, the remains of a corpus luteum in the ovarium.

glandular enlargement of the fallopian tube.

Tab. XX. 
Fig. 1. the foetus of a kanguroo found in the false belly, re- 
presented of its natural size; weighing only 21 grains, and 
the smallest that has been ever discovered. It is probably in 
the earliest state; as the mouth had jittle if any hold of the 
nipple. 
Fig. 2. the part of the foetus found in the impregnated 
uterus.
