A short study of the seminal colliculus in some mammals.

The seminal colliculus is completely absent in the donkey. It is fibroglandular in the males of camel, ox, buffalo and pig. Prostatic acini are richly found in its depth. They are lined by cubical or low columnar epithelium, are separated from each other by trabeculae of connective tissue and smooth muscle, and separated from the deeper prostrate gland by the striated muscle of the urethra. A rare type of seminal colliculus was once encountered in the ox. This type is muscular with autonomic ganglia and complete absence of glandular acini. It seems that the seminal colliculus shares the prostate in its glandular functions and prevents oozing of semen from the seminal ducts.

Venous drainage of the urinary bladder.

The venous drainage of the urinary bladder was studied in 20 pelvic halves (14 males and 6 females). Vesical and prostatic plexuses draining the bladder (vesical only in females) were found in 16 cases; they supplied blood to the internal iliac vein--usually by two to five veins--the most common number being three. One vein always drained the prostatic plexus. The vesical and prostatic plexuses were absent in 4 male cases, where the vesical veins issuing from the bladder wall drained directly the internal iliac vein. Their number in such cases was minimal: between one and two only, on each side. The union of a vesical vein issuing from any of the two mentioned plexuses (when found) with the obturator, prostatic or vaginal vein was common. A shunt from a common trunk of united obturator and vesical veins to the external iliac vein was noticed in some cases. Occasionally, an inferior vesical vein ending in the obturator vein accompanied an inferior vesical artery initiating from the obturator artery.

Comparative study of Gartner's duct in the camel.

Gartner's duct is fairly constant in the camel, especially in young animals. It contains fluid secretion, yellowish translucent and viscid in character. Secondary coagulation of the secretion occurs on standing, and so becomes gelatinous. The ducts were histologically studies and glandular acini were found opening in them. An explanation of the manner of formation of Gartner's duct cyst is suggested. Gartner's duct may be a functioning accessory gland of the female sexual apparatus in the camel.

Male uterus in the donkey and horse.

The anatomy and histology of the male uterus were studied in the donkey and the horse. In the former it was found complete and long, while in the latter it was incomplete or absent. Some variations met with are described. A new concept of "internal male hermaphroditism' is presented and two types are differentiated.

A comparative study of the urinary bladder and the intramural portion of the ureter.

The bladder belonging to eleven mammalian species were investigated, and as a result the following observations were made: (1) a submucous ureter was found in the case of most of the species examined; (2) histological investigation revealed three types of intramural ureters, and (3) downward extension of ureteric musculature, separate from bladder musculature, to the seminal colliculus in the male, or to the lower end of the urethra in the female, was found. A suggestion is presented to explain the manner by which the ureteric openings change their relations to those of the mesonephric ducts development. It seems that 'after absorption of the common segment of the Wolffian duct, breaking down of the ventral wall of ureter' is the most likely process.

Arterial supply to the hypogastric and presacral nerves.

The hypogastric nerves take an arterial supply from the internal iliac artery either directly or from one of its main branches close to its origin from the parent trunk. Sometimes the supply is from the lower end of the common iliac artery. In half the cases examined the presacral nerve takes an arterial supply from the aorta at its bifurcation.

The arterial supply of the urinary bladder.

(1) The urachal artery has a primary origin from the umbilical artery itself, and is at first bilateral. (2) The arterial pattern in newborn infants is not identical to that of adults. Obliteration of the umbilical artery in older infants carries with it obliteration of some of its branches, especially at their origin from its distal part, with a resulting change in arterial pattern. (3) The middle vesicle artery is a fairly constant branch of the umbilical artery, supplying the bladder neck and the front of the bladder above the neck. (4) The urachal and middle vesicle arteries, when unilateral, occur with equal frequency on both sides. (5) The anastomosis between superior vesical and inferior episgastric arteries was confirmed in the subperitoneal tissues, but was very rare in the wall of the bladder, occurring only when an abnormal obturator artery was the source of a superior vesical branch. (6) The constancy of the vesiculo-deferential artery is confirmed.
