    ligamentum latum, which covers the uterine tube, is termed the mesosal- pinx (see Figs. 2, 3 and 4). The ovary, a flat almond-shaped body, is connected to the uterus with its uterine pole by the ligamentum ovarii proprium, and hangs down at its hilus or mesovarium from the posterior wall of the ligamentum latum. Its upper or tubal pole is directly connected to the bony pelvis, just external to the articulatio sacro-iliaca, by the ligamentum Suspensorium 1. Symphysis pubis. 2. Vesica urinaria. 3.

The fimbriated extremity of the tube and the tubal pole of the ovary are further united by the ligamentum infun- dibulo-ovaricum, and upon its border runs the fimbria ovarica from the tube to the ovary. The ovary is not covered by peritoneum, but by a single layer of flat or cuboidal cells, the germinal epithelium. Beneath this is a thin layer of connective tissue, the tunica albuginea ovarii
