Pro-fessor Turner haspointed out that assoon as the ovum isreceived into theuterus, the mucousmembrane swells ;and there is reason tosuppose that certainchanges, closely re-sembling those whichtake place at eachmenstrual period,are set up in theuterus before the ovum reaches it. Thus the ciliated epithelium often, though not always, losesits columnar form, and the cells multiply in order to cover the increasedsurface.
