982 GENERATIVE APPARATUS. are yellow in colour, and are formed—like the preceding—of acini, the cells of which contun much fat. Because of their situation, we have named these the rectal glands. We have also studied tlie generative organs of the Leporide—a new or hybrid species which has been the subject of much discussion; and have remarked that there is a perfect resemblance between these organs in a male Leporide and those of the Rabbit. The testicles found in the abdomen have furnished a fluid rich in very vivacious spermatozoids. These Leporides have, therefore, all that is necessary for reproduction inter se.' Comparison of the Genital Organs of Man with those op Animals. Coverings of the testicles.—The scrotum, dartos, tunica erythryoidea,&nd tunica vaginalis have the sume organization as in Solipeds. The scrotum is rich in sebaceous glands, and the tunica vaginalis is separated by a serous layer from the peritoneal cavity. Testicles.—These are ovoid, and situated in an oblique direction downwards and inwards; their largest curvature is forwards. The epididymis ofl'ers the same arrangement as already noticed, except that the vm Fig. 528.

16 SECTION OF PELVIS TO THE LEFT OF THE MEDIAN LINE AT THE PUBES, AND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE SACRUM. 1, Section of left pubic bone; 2, peritoneum on bladder; 3, left crus penis; 4, pelvic fascia forming anterior ligaments of bladder; 5, part of accelerator urina;; 6, posterior layer of triangular ligament forming the capsule of the prostate; 7, anterior layer of triangular ligament; between 6 and 7 are seen the membranous urethra, deep muscles of urethra (insertion), and Cowper's gland of the left side; 8, vas deferens; 9, bulb of urethra; 10, rectum; 11, cut edges of accelerator urinse and transversus perinaei; 12, left ureter; 13, reflection of deep layer of superficial fascia round transversus perinaei; 14, left vesicula seminalis ; 15, cut edge of levator ani; 16, rectum ; 17, prostate gland. deferens, in being detached from the globus minor, is bent somewhat suddenly to reach the abdominal cavity. There are several diverticuli annexed to the epididymis, named the pedicu- lated hydatid of Morgagni, non-pediculated hydatid aberrant vessels, and corpus innominatum of Giraldes. The hydatid of Morgagni is a little projection at the head of the epididymis, filled with a serous fluid which is never mixed with the semen. The non-pedicidated hydatid is a small white mass which rises from the testicle at some distance from the globus major; it has a cavity that communicates witli the duct of the epididymis. The aberrant vessels are fine flexuous ducts given off" from the globus minor, and soon terminate in a cul-de-sac. The corpus innominatum of Giraldes is a small mass of ramifying tubes included in the connective tissue uniting the globus majnr to the testicle. All these anpendages of the testicle or epididymis, are the remains of the Wolffian body.
