(After Dalton.) declinature, which, does not begin till the latter periodsof pregnancy, is comparatively slow, not being per-fected till eight or nine weeKS after delivery, and some-times even for a longer period. From the superior horns of the uterus, the Fallo-pian tubes, or oviducts, pass off in a lateral direction ; THE FALLOPIAN TUBES. 45 their course is at first nearly straight, but afterwardtortuous; and their outer extremities are turned down-ward, on the posterior portion of the broad are about four inches in length and tubular,covered externally by the peritoneum, and internally by a mucous membrane reflected through small ori-fices at the upper cornua of the uterus, and continuedto the outer or peritoneal extremities.

The middle coat isvery universally described as muscular, continuouswith the muscular fibres of the uterus, and thus thesetubes are capable of a peristaltic motion. M. Robin,however, as reported by Cazeaux, denies the muscularcharacter of these oviducts, stating that they are sim-ply fibrous, and that they penetrate directly the ute-rine tissue, from which they may be distinguished bytheir color, being whitish, while that of the uterus isreddish-gray. The outer or peritoneal extremity has one of itsfimbriee, or a fibrous line at its inner margin, con-necting it with the
