. 2 3 DIAMETER IN CMS. Text-fig. 20. A, size frequency distribution of all 'old' corpora albicantia; B, size frequency distribution of 'old' corpora albicantia of pregnancy (calculated from Text-fig. 19); C, resulting size frequency distribution of 'old' corpora albicantia of ovulation; D, calculated mean diameter +, and size range of 'old' corpora albicantia of ovulation (see text for explanation). There was no corpus luteum of pregnancy smaller than 3 cm., but four out of 59 corpora lutea of ovulation were under this size, that is, 6-8%. In terms of total 'old' corpora albicantia this will represent 4-5% (because there are about two corpora lutea of ovulation to one corpus luteum of pregnancy). The accessory corpora lutea, some of which do not represent ovulations, range from 0-5 to 8-5 cm. in diameter with a mean of 3-88 cm. so a larger proportion of them will be unrepresented by observable corpora albicantia. In fact 11 out of 26 were under 3 cm. in diameter, that is 42-3%, and since accessory corpora lutea comprise about 37% of all corpora lutea this amounts to about i-6% of all'old' corpora albicantia. The accessory corpora lutea which are expected to be observed when fully regressed, that is to say those which are initially 3 cm. in diameter or larger, amount to 2-1% of all corpora lutea.
