A treatise on the science and practice of midwifery . eeks, the corpus luteum continues to grow until the third orfourth month of pregnancy; the folds of the inner layer of the ovisacbecome large and fleshy and permeated by numerous capillaries, andultimately become so firmly united that the margins of the convolutionsthin and disappear, leaving only a firm fleshy yellow mass, averagingfrom 1 to 1-|- inches in thickness, which surrounds a central cavity, oftencontaining a whitish fibrillated structure, believed to be the remains ofa central blood-clot. This was erroneously supposed by Montgomery tobe the inner layer of the follicle itself, and he conceived the yellow sub-stance to be a new formation between it and the external layer, whileRobert Lee thought it was placed external to both the external andinternal layers. Between the third and fourth months of pregnancy, when the corpusluteum has attained its maximum of development (Fig. 42), it forms afirm projection on the surface of the ovary, averaging about 1 inch in Fig. 42.
