Helfers possess an iidder of only slightproportions, and, when in good conditiou, the udder is completeJyinfiltrated with f;it tissue (Fig. 39, c), as contrasted with the large,flabby, dependent ndder of cows in lactation (Fig. 40, c). The ndderof fattened cows, four to six years old, also sliows a high fat content,^but always exhibits a strongly projecting glpndular substance andlarge teats. Fig. 37.

Franck also called attention to the fact that a cross-section ofthe adductors of the thigh, which is, in fact, dependent npon themusculus gracilis for its form, is triangulär in male cattle andbean-shaped or rouuded, on the other hand, in females (Figs. 37to 40, h). Furthermore, a section of the pelvis in the Symphysis pubisshows characteristic differences in male and female cattle (Figs. 37to 40, a).
