The animal recovered,and subsequently a tubal pregnancy was found uponthe ovarian side of the ligature. The comparativefrequency of tubal pregnancy is stated by Velpeau tobe as nine to three; Hecker, however, of Germany,reverses the proportion, declaring that in one hun-dred and ninety-six cases of extra-uterine pregnancy,sixty-four were tubal, and one hundred and thirty-twowere ventral and ovarian.
