It is composed for the most part of longitudinal bundles of shining white fibres, with numerous well-developed elastic fibres, enclosing the two corpora cavernosa in a common covering; and internal to this, each corpus cavernosmn is surrounded by a layer of circular fibres, which enter into the formation of the septum. From the interior of the fibrous envelope, and from the sides of theseptum, numerous lamellEe, bands, and cords, composed of fibrous elasticand plain muscular tissue, and named trabecule, pass inwards, and runthrough and across the cavity in all directions, thus su
