Fallojpian Arrangement.—The tubes are two coni-cal membranous passages, situated within the anteriorwings of the broad ligaments of the uterus. One oftheir extremities is terminated in a kind of fringe, toadapt itself to the ovary, while the other opens by avery narrow orifice at the upper angle of the parts are well seen in the annexed cut (fig. 11).The tubes are formed of two membranes, one ofwhich belongs to a prolongation of the peritoneum,and the other is the continuation of the mucous mem- 34 STERILITY CAUSES—TREATMENT- [Fig. 11.]. 1.
