The bag resembling leather, which was the proper tunic of the Ovarium greatly thickened, load open its whole length to shew more clearly the substance therein contained, which was like hog's lard, covered all over with hair, curled and stragling beyond its edge. B. A long string or rope of hair somewhat resembling an Elf's Lock, or the Plica Polonica. C. A bone having the periosteum separated from it the whole length. D. Another bone having a perfect incisive tooth passing through it into a thick membranous socket between the coats of the Ovarium, with an imperfect one adjoining to the perfect one. E. A perfect canine tooth, at a little distance from this bone, in such a kind of membranous socket, without any bone. F. F. F. The part of the Ovarium by which it was attached to the Uterus.
