. The anatomical record. Anatomy; Anatomy. SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES OF MAMMALIA - 217. Fig. 5 Seminiferous tubule complex showing junction of seven tubules, each ending in a tubulus rectus and attached to the rete testis. X has led to the obscuring of certain of the junctions. In an at- tempt to straighten somewhat the second tubule from the left in this figure, this was torn from its attachment at the T-shaped division. This tear was disregarded in making the figure. The last tubule to the right does not show in the mounted prepara- tion its termination in a tubulus rectus, which is folded under the tubule, yet was clearly evident after the completion of teas- ing. The other six tubules show clearly their termination in tubuli recti. This tubule complex was removed from the lower third of the testis and presents an actual length of cm. We are convinced that the tubule complex shown in figure 5, does not show the extent of linking of tubules which may take place in the adult rabbit testis. In one preparation at least twelve tubules seemed joined together, although in this preparation cer- tain of the tubules could be traced only for a short distance before a broken end was reached; others which could be completely teased terminated in tubuli recti. The difficulty met in sepa- rating the parts belonging to a single tubule complex, during the preliminary teasing of the larger masses of testis tissue, masses which are not sufficiently transparent to admit of trans- mitting even strong artificial light, leaves it largely to chance.
