Besides the usual muscles of the penis there is, inPlantigrades, a pair arising from the sacrum diverging to includethe sphincter ani, and then continued on to the dorsum penis asfar as the bone. In the Otter the sperm-ducts have glandularterminations. ( Between the two there is a small body or canalwhich enters the urethra at the caput gallinaginis, but not withthe vasa deferentia:1 in this remnant of the protometra thecornua are filamentary, as in Meles. In Mustela martes, also,Hunter observes:— There is a small cavity between the twovasa deferentia, at their entrance into the urethra, which willadmit the small end of a small blow-pipe; but I could not findany natural opening into the In the Dog-tribe the scrotum is more prominent than in Mus-telines or Plantigrades.
