Etiology.—In this condition both Miillerian ducts haveappeared, but one has been more affected in its develop-ment than the other by causes, of a nature already de-scribed, operating early in embryonal existence. Physiology; Symptoms.—The functions which a rudi-mentary cornu attached to a one-horned uterus is capableof performing depend, of course, upon the degree of itsdevelopment. If it is hollow and its inferior extremityis patent, menstruation may occur, though not so earlynor in so great quantity as from the more perfect if there is no opening below, a slowly developinghaematometra will result, and perhaps a haema-tosalpinx as well. When pregnancy occurs, it is usually inthe more typically formed cornu, and utero-ge
