The line of origin of thelabium minus runs over the front of the swelling. Cysts of the gland areprobably produced in the same manner, but are much less commonthan those of the duct. They lie deeply beneath the posterior partof the labium majus, and sometimes burrow upwards along the lateral 364 GYNECOLOGY vaginal wall and backwards into the ischio-rectal fossa. The in-tegumental coverings are lax, and the deformity is less cyst can be grasped between the finger passed into the vagina, andthe thumb placed externally, and its size and depth thus estimated. ^/.
