I have not been able to make out any such ligamentous processes passing into the substance of the testis, as are represented in Sir A. Cooper's work (part i. pi. 2. fig. 3), which I have no doubt is an ex- aggerated view of the preparation from which it was taken. The cords described appear to me to consist chiefly of blood-vessels sup- ported by slight fibrous processes from the tunica albuginea and areolar tissue. In a well- injected testicle very little tissue of the nature of ligament can be found between the lobes. The secreting structure of the testicle, like the texture of many other glands does not possess much common sensibility. When exposed in disease it may be probed and injured with the forceps without pain. Tubuli Seminifcri. — These tubes, which form by far the greatest part of the bulk of the glandular structure of the testicle, are very numerous, and radiate from all parts of the circumference of the organ towards the mediastinum, making numberless con- volutions which progressively diminish as they approach the rete testis. Two or more of the tubuli, being collected together and invested by a common tunic of con- densed areolar tissue, form a lobe or lobule of a conical form, its apex terminating at the corpus Highmori. The lobes thus formed are Fig. 631. T7ie lobes attached to the mediastinum, but artificially separated from each other. (From a preparation in the Hunterian Museum, formerly in Sir A, Cooper's collection.) not entirely distinct, but communicate with neighbouring lobes : the processes investing them are therefore incomplete, and the lobes cannot be separated from each other without division of some of the seminiferous tubuli. Krause estimates the number of the lobes as varying from 404 to 484. The t
