We have seen admirable preparations in possession of Professor Flourens, in the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, illustrating the vascular connection between mother and fœtus, by means of both quicksilver and size injections, passed both from the fœtal vessels to those of the uterus, and _vice versa_; a species of connection said to exist in all animals possessed of a simple placenta, and not cotyledinous. Various other minute particulars connected with anatomical preparations in all its branches, will be found fully detailed in the present volume.
