Cowpers Glands. 
These also belong to the class of secreting glands, and have 
sometimes been called the lesser prostates. They are situated 
anteriorly to the bulb of the penis on each side of the mem¬ 
branous portion of the urethra. 
Cowper’s glands are covered by the triangularis penis of each 
side : they are about the size of a filbert. 
Their structure, as apparent to the naked eye, is similar to that 
of the prostate in every respect, only the excretory ducts are 
ten or twelve in number for each gland, and linearly disposed on 
each side of the pelvic urethra. 
Cowper’s glands are supplied with vessels and nerves from 
the same source as the prostate.

We left off in our last “Review” with a promise to submit 
such extracts from Strickland Freeman’s work*, published in 
1796—a book become scarce—as bore upon the point we were at
