    the pronephros. To the same origin Kobelt’s tubes may probably be traced. Dauber’s case ^ may be of this type. Otherwise no instance of the origin of a large cystic tumour from an accessory hydrosalpinx or a ‘‘ hydatid ” of the fimbriae or parovarium has been recorded. 1. “Case of Double Symmetrical Cystoma of Unusual Origin and Connections.” Trans. Ohstet. Soc., Vol. xlvi, 1904, p. 341. A DEMONSTRATION OF SPECIMENS ILLUSTRATING CYSTS OF THE FEMALE APPENDAGES. By Arthur Keith, M.D., F.R.C.S. (Eng.). ILLUSTRATIONS. Fig. 1. Diagram of the Structures in and adjacent to the Broad Ligament. 1. Mesosalpinx. 2. Mesovarium (shaded line). 3. Hilum of ovary. 4. Ovary proper. 5. 5. Beginning of Wolffian duct, “horizontal tube of parovarium.” oh Relics of free portion of Wolffian duct. 6. Cystic process from Wolffian duct, probably a relic of the pronephros, and not of Wolffian origin. 7 7, 7. The Wolffian body, parovarium, epi-o6phoron, or organ of Rosennuiller. 8. Ovarian extremity of the ovarian fimbria of the Fallopian tube. It is partly made up of ovarian tissue, and includes tubular or cystic- relics, homologues of the rete testis. The common broad ligament cystic tumour, the so-called “ parovarian cyst,” arises from a cystic relic of this type. 9. Fallopian tube, developed from Muller’s duct. 10. 10. Fimbriated extremity of Fallopian tube surrounding coelomic ostium, 11 “hydatid of Morgagni.” N.B., 10, 11, and probably 6, are developed from the pronephric tubules and not from Muller’s duct. 12. Ovarian ligament. 13. Uterus.
