Carl Rieder found Gartners duets only persistingin eight out of forty case-. From the results of these various investigationswe may conclude that Gartners duets, as a rule, dis-appear in the second half of •pregnancy, but that they exceptionally per-sist even in the adult woman. That the upper parts of these dints occasionally persist, and maygive rise to vaginal cysts, there is scarcely any doubt. I have myselfexamined a cyst of this kind extirpated by Dr. R. Watts of this city, A Tubule laid open,and showing thebranches at the up-per end (Skene). THE WOLFFIAN BODIES. 73 and both the clinical observation that the cyst at its upper cud had atubuliform continuation through which a uterine sound went up to theiliac fossa, and the histological composition of the sac, which cor-responded with that of the vas deferens, determined me to take it to bea dilated Gartners Fig. The Wolffian after the Wolffian ducts—in the chicken at the end of thesecond and the beginning of* the third day, in the rabbit on the ninth and tenth day—appear the so-called Wolff-ian bodies. I lis found them in a humanfoetus of the first month whose body was2. millimeters long. Like the ducts, theyare placed symmetrically one on either sideof the vertebral column. At the periodof their highest development they extendas two long prismatic bodies from the levelof the rudimentary diaphragm low downinto the pelvis. At their upper end theyarc bound t
