Such are the umbilical vessels, and it will be seen that they form a part of the circulatory system of the young creature which will be more com- pletely studied hereafter. DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS IN THE ANNEXES OF THE FCETUS OF OTHER THAN SOLIPED ANIMALS. 1. KuMiNANTS.—Placenta.—The placental apparatus of the Cow is not uniformly spread over the outer surface of the chorion, but is constituted by a variable number of vascular bodies, about sixty on an average, disseminated here and there, and dovetailed by reciprocal penetration of prominences and cavities, into analogous bodies on the inner surface of the uterus, designated cotyledons. These are only thickened points of the mucous membrane, the follicles of which are enormously enlarged. They exist, we have seen, before gestation; but observation demonstrates that they may be afterwards formed or entirely renewed, especially in those cases in which accidental circumstances have rendered those present insufficient for their office. The largest are found in the body of the uterus; in the cornua they are smaller as they are nearer the extremity. Their form is generally elliptical, and they are att
