This is called the vaginal processof the peritoneum. At the eighth month the testis is found in theinfundibular pouch, together with the vaginal process of the peri-toneum, which accompanies it, and during the last month of intra-uterine life it is found at the bottom of the infundibular pouch, thescrotum, together with its vaginal peritoneal process. The testis may be interrupted in its journey into the scrotumat any point, and may remain stationary either in the abdomen orin the inguinal canal. This condition occasionally complicates con-genital hernia.
