Toward thelower portion of the epididymis the cells lose their ciliaand the walls increase in thickness to about inch) (Fig. 3879). At the lower end of the epididymis passes off a blindappendix, the vas aberrans. This is a convoluted tubewith a blind end, similar in structure to the epididymis,. cut transversely ; 5. cross cut of a ves-sel ; 6, connective tissue. (Henle.) but of smaller calibre. It varies from 4 to 36 ctm. (lj to15 inches) in length ; its usual length being from 5 to 8ctm. (2 to 3 inches). It is often absent. As many asfour have been reported in the same subject, Less constant is a conical lobule at the upper end ofthe epididymis, which resembles a vas efferens that hasfailed to make connection with the testicle. The organ of Giraldes is situated at the posterior por-tion of the epididymis, between the head and the vasdeferens, and surrounded by blood-vessels and the Strandsof the seminal cord. It is recognized with difficulty,unless the surrounding tissue has been rendered trans-parent by reagents. It consists of a variable numberof flat, white bodies, of about 5 or 6 mm. (i inch) in di-ameter, each of which consists of a collection of tubesblind at each end, from to mm. (^u to jis inch)in diameter. The tube is swollen at each end to a roundor lobula
