Fig. 2. Ovulum semi-lanuginosum.

(Three weeks and a half after menstruation.)

In this specimen of an early miscarriage, the Ovulum exhibits the filiform vessels as in No. 1; but one half of its circumference is denuded of them, and the diaphanous involucra are distinctly visible in that part. They are represented flaccid owing to the escape of a part of the liquor amnii. In size the embryo (which required to be viewed in a very strong light) resembled that of No. 6.
