[65]

March 10th Long-styled. Chinese Primrose.

Ovarium outer coat with 10 or 9 bundles all running up the style, smaller intermediate bundles

Base of central placenta 7 sev vessels very distinct; & I think trace of vessels in middle of placenta in act of dissolution; none at pointed apex — 8 odd overhanging lobes at base of central placenta.

March 11th Short-styled — only 8 vessels in outer coat of ovarium.— I see vessels in central placenta. — A long-styled, I believe 10 in outer coat of ovarium — (but I must look to transverse sections)
