The oviduct and ovarian funnel Rapp (1837) mentions that in Phocaena phocaena the ends of the Fallopian tubes are "extraordinarily widened" and Turner (1870 b) said that in Orcinus the width of the tuba mouth embraced the whole ovary. In Hyper oodon Weber (1886) found the tuba mouth even more widened, and described the edges of the funnel converging to a tag running on to the rostral pole of the ovary, as described for the Balaenoptera under review.
