The vestibule (Fig. 312, vb), or urogenital canal, is a wide median passage, into which the vagina and the bladder open. On its ventral wall is a small, hard, rod-like body, the clitoris, corresponding to the penis of the male, and composed of two very short corpora cavernosa attached anteriorly to the fit Lvt.

The rabbit is viviparous. The ovum, which is of rel- atively small size, after it has escaped from its Graafian follicle, passes into the oviduct, where it becomes fertilised, and reaches the uterus, in which it develops into the foetus,.
