A vesicular reservoir—the urinary Madder—is often inserted into the course of the efferent ducts. In fishes only does the bladder lie behind the intestine. Reproduction is always sexual, and separate sexes are the rule. A few fishes only (species of Serranus) are hermaphrodite. In male Amphibians how- ever traces of ovaries are found. Both kinds of sexual glands lie as paired organs in the body cavity, and send off paired ducts which in the lower Vertebrates open into the cloaca and often join to form an unpaired canal. Sometimes indeed the ducts are absent and the genital products fall into the body cavity and pass out thence to the exterior by a genital pore.

Hertwig). a, First appearance of the medullary folds and formation of the uotochord. b, Closing of the medullary groove. The notochord is completely separated off from the entoderni. The constric- tion of the mesoderm into the protovertebrse is beginning (left hand side of the figure).

In many Fishes and Amphibia copulation is confined to an external union of the tw
