Subse- quently to the splitting they run along the Fix. rian organ : excepting that there is a much more considerable size and capacity, which is due to the adult age at which the animal was killed. But here there is no separation into vagina* and uterus. But, in spite of this, by a comparison with the normal female genitals of an individual of the same age, one will easily be convinced, that the Weberian organ in this instance corresponds to the uterus with the vagina, and not to the former of these only. But this may best be seen in a third herma- phrodite now lying before me (.fig- 883.). Here the Weberian organ is so completely separated into uterus and vagina by the development of Fig. 883.

The testicles have not descended into the scrotum. They lie at the ends of the cornua, the outer coverings of which pass into the sheath of the epididymis. If the vasa defe- rentia (which are somewhat thickened at their lower extremities, and, at about six lines from their apertures, possess a pair of seminal vesicles which lie more deeply), be removed from the Weberian organ, it will be seen that the lower end of the latter (e) is wider in an extent of nine lines than the segment which lies above it, and is distinguished therefrom by a constriction. By a further examination of the interior at this point, 1 find a transverse fold by which the two segments are still more separated from each other. Although this fold is not a com
