out in this. Observe that they are pyriform bodies, 
the apex being above (Fig. 47). 
Ascertain that each ovary consists of a large 
number of follicular tubes, commencing as fine threads 
and ending in the oviduct. Observe especially the 
follicular tube forming the apex of the ovary, as here 
this is most readily made out. 
Ascertain that each follicular tube contains 
several egg follicles, the lowest of which is the most 
advanced in development.
