Fig. 59 A. Section through the inner aspect of a portion of the testis and
mesorchium, to shew the network of the vasa efferentia (_nve_)
becoming continuous with the seminal tubes (_st_). The
granular matter nearly filling the vasa efferentia and the
seminal tubes represent the spermatozoa.
Fig. 59 B. Section through part of the kidney and its duct and the
longitudinal canal (_lc_) at the base of the mesorchium.
Canals (_sc_) are seen passing off from the latter, which
enter the kidney and join the uriniferous tubuli. Some of
the latter (as well as the seminal tubes) are seen to be
filled with granular matter, which we believe to be the
remains of spermatozoa.
Fig. 60. Diagram of the urinogenital organs of the left side of an adult
female example of _Lepidosteus_ 100 centims. in length. This figure shews
the oviduct (_od_) continuous with the investment of the ovary, opening at
_od´_ into the dilated part of the kidney duct (segmental duct). It also
shews the segmental duct and the junction of the latter with its fellow of
the right side to form the so-called bladder, this part being represented
as cut open. The kidney (_k_) and lymphatic organ (_ly_) in front of it are
also shewn.
PLATE 40.
Fig. 61. Transverse section through the developing pancreas (_p_) of a
larva 11 millims. in length.
Fig. 62. Longitudinal section through portions of the stomach, liver, and
duodenum of an embryo about a month after hatching, to shew the relations
of the pancreas (_p_) to the surrounding parts.
Fig. 63. External view of portions of the liver, stomach, duodenum, &c., of
a young Fish, 11 centims. in length, to shew the pancreas (_p_).
Fig. 64. Transverse section through the anterior part of the trunk of an
embryo, about a month after hatching, shewing the connection of the
air-bladder with the throat (_ab´_).
Fig. 65. Transverse section through the same embryo as fig. 64 further
back, shewing the posterior part of the air-bladder (_ab_).
Fig. 66. Viscera of an adult female, 100 centims. in length, shewing the
alimentary canal with its appended glands in natural position, and the
air-bladder with its aperture into the throat (_ab´_). The proximal part of
the duodenum and the terminal part of the intestine are represented as cut
open, the former to shew the pyloric valve and the apertures of the pyloric
cæca and bile duct, and the latter to shew the spiral valve.
This figure was drawn for us by Professor A. C. Haddon.
PLATE 41.
Fig. 67. Transverse section through the tail of an advanced larva, shewing
the neural and hæmal processes, the independently developed interneural and
interhæmal elements (_is_), and the commencing dermal fin-rays (_df_).
