The epididymisdoes not usually waste so soon, nor in thesame degree, as the body of the testicle.It sometimes, however, loses its charac-teristic appearance; and I have evenfound it reduced to a few fibrous threads.The fluid pressed out of the wastedtesticle and epididymis is entirely desti-tute of spermatic granules and sperma-tozoa. In many instances adipose tissueis deposited behind the tunica vaginalis,and encroaches on the epididymis, andthe posterior part of the testicle. Fattymatter is also found in the glandularsubstance. The structures composing thespermatic cord undergo a correspondingdiminution, the ere master muscle dis-appears, the nerves shrink, and the ves-sels are reduced in size and number.The vas deferens, though small, can gene-rally be injected with mercury as far asthe commencement of the epididymis, and sometimes the metalreaches the vasa efierentia.* The causes of atrophy of the testis are very various : deprivation * Mr. Curling, Op.cit.y-p. 65.
