Fig. 3. Ovulum lanuginosum.

(Three weeks after menstruation.)

A mossy Ovulum, shewing the inner or secreting membrane, within which I could not discover any embryo at the time of the miscarriage occurring. On searching among the coagula consequent on a very extensive hemorrhage, the Ovulum was found flat, and appeared like a confused mass. The liquor amnii had escaped, and probably the embryo along with it. The artist has most skilfully delineated the peculiar turns of the involucra where they have been divided so as to display those marked inflexions which are still more distinctly seen in No. 4.
