Henle states that in cross-sections the canal is represented bya transverse slit near its vesical end, while at other points, except atthe meatus, tli section lias a stellate appearance. The average lengthnf the urethra is one and three-eighths inches, the average diameter aquarter of an inch. For the sake of convenience we may considerfirst the beginning of the canal, then the portion that lies between itstwo openings, and lastly the vesical extremity. When in a state of rest the meatus appears as a small dimple,or puckering, of* the mucous membrane, situated in the median lineat the lower edge of the vestibule, from three-fourths to four-fifthsof an inch below the clitoris and an inch in front of the iour- 1 Winckel, Krankheiten Wab
