    Fig. 6. Cyst of the Ovarian Fimbria. The secondary fimbriae are stretched over the cyst and parted widely from each other. An incisicn made in the capsule exposes the cyst-wall. The capsule is formed from the mesosalpinx. A pedunculated pro- nephric cyst (see Figs. 2 and 3) springs from the Wolffian body. The “hydatid of Morgagni” (Fig. 1, 11) is here not cystic but fringed. The fimbrial cyst probably arises in a homologue of the rete testis. Lor. cit.^ p. 53. Fig. 7. A Broad Ligament Cyst, incorrectly called “parovarian,” but really arising in relics, homologues of the rete testis, at the point of junction of the ovarian fimbria and the ovary. It is in close relation to the ovarian fimbria, and through the opening up of the layers of the mesosalpinx it is beginning to come in contact with the Fallopian tube itself. Loc. cit., p. 54.
