    PLATE V. The Areola in the seventh month of pregnane]/. Was drawn just thirty weeks after conception. The change since the last drawing is very striking, the colour of both areola and nipple being now of a very dark shade; the follicles, or tubercles are large and prominent; the diameter is increased to rather more than two inches and an eighth. The veins are large and more distinct, especially where they traverse the disk and form anastomoses; the mottling of the surrounding integument now presents the appearance which I have described pp. 61-2, as if there had fallen on the skin a shower of drops which had discharged its colour, and, here and there, thelineolae, or whitish streaks, arising from the giving way of the cutis, are very per- ceptible.
