    Fig. 4. Cyst of the Wolffiax Body or true “Parovarian cyst.” The outermost vertical tube passes in front of it. The cyst is quite independent of the ovarian fimbria of the Fallopian tube. This true parovarian cyst is, according to A. Keith, not the origin of the so-called parovarian cystic tumour; it never attains a large size. Loc. cit., p. 47. Fig. 5. Wolffian Body or Parovarium, with a thin-walled cyst developed in association with the ovarian fimbria, and not Wolffian. The outermost vertical tube of the parovarium crosses over the cyst and joins the ovarian fimbria, an unusual conditon ; but originally the pronephros and Wolffian body are in close relation. The fimbrial cyst probably arises in a homologue of the rete testis (see text). Loc. cit., p. 47.
