Little IS established concerning the origin of the different tunics ' which form the ovum, whether they be formed of the fecundating J liquors of both sex, in like manner as the foetus itself, or whether thev ] le derived from the uterus. At least the external membrane of tliel cJiorion, named the decidua, seems to be from the uterus, as being onei which IS said to have been in the uterus when the foetus and ovuiiiB were sticking in the Fallopian tube, ■ 793. The uterus itself grows in a wonderful degree whilst the woman is9 j)re^nan jecoining nearly liity times more capacious than it had been in® le viigiii. Nor docs it become on that account thinner: because thej vessels carrying blood are evolved, and contain a great deal of blood, andlj
