In the Wolf-fish the stroma extends over thewhole of the internal surface of the ovary, into the cavity ofwhich it projects in the form of numerous oval compressedprocesses. In general, its superficies is extended by being plaitedinto numerous folds, which are transverse in the Cod and Salmon,oblique in the Mackerel, and longitudinal in some other Fishes. 383.

In theOsseous Fishes that retain and hatch their ova the stroma doesnot extend to the posterior part of the ovarian sac, but this 384
