In this tissue and atthe base of the ovary areseen a number of canalswliich have given rise tothe view advanced byPfliiger, that the ovary was developed as a tubular gland. Thisview has, however, been almost universally abandoned, and. inmy own researches, I have seen no evidence which entitles it toserious consideration. These tubules are clearly derived from.
