EXPERIMENT XI. 
The day after a doe had received the male I made a small 
opening on the left side of the abdomen, got down upon the 
uterus just where the fallopian tube goes off, tied the left tube 
close to the uterus, with a view to intercept the ova. The result 
of this mentioned afterwards. 
EXPERIMENT XII. 
Opened a doe the seventh day after coitus: ova all fixed and 
adhering to the uterus, even making a sensible swell in form of 
belts at different parts ; the amnion appeared in some nearer 
the chorion than in others; the liquor between amnion and 
chorion very gelatinous, in many others less so. Saw nothing 
of foetus. 
EXPERIMENT XIII. 
Opened a doe eighth day after coitus : there were about ten 
or eleven ova; foetus distinct in almost every one, but not 
without the application of distilled vinegar for two or three 
minutes, and afterwards immersed in proof spirit; in some 1 
found the brain, spinal marrow, and vertebrae, forming two 
columns at some distance; they afterwards gradually ap- 
proached ; for it was in one of the least forward that this was 
most evident. 
EXPERIMENT XIV. 
Opened a doe twenty-first day after the coitus : five vessels 
were seen going out of the navel in one of the foetuses, besides 
the urachus ; the omphalo-mesenteric artery was very distinct,
