Although Kolliker and Scanzoni state thatthey have detected the trichomonas in the vaginal mucus both of im-pregnated and of unimpregnated women, it is very doubtful if the bodiesthey have seen are peculiar to vaginal mucus. They are probablyordinary monads, or pus corpuscles with a projecting filament. I havemet with both, but have never seen anything exactly resembling thefigures of the so-called Trichomonas vaginae. Other kinds of infu-soria have been observed in urine. Epithelium of Kidney, Bladder, and Urethra.—The epithelium fromthe kidney has been already described in p. 13. The cells from theureter are of the columnar form, and some are spindle-shaped, pi. VIII,fig. 57. See also pi. Ill, Anatomy of Kidney, p. 6.

In the fundus, there is much columnar epithelium mixed withlarge oval cells; whereas, in that part termed the trigone, large andslightly flattened cells, with a very distinct nucleus and nucleolus, aremost abundant. Columnar epithelium appears to line the mucousfollicles, while the scaly lies on the surface of the mucous membranebetween them. Many of the large oval cells of bladder epithelium lieupon the summit of columnar cells, and their under-surface exhibitscorresponding depressions. Various forms of bladder epithelium arerep
