Notes on Marsupialian anatomy II. on the female genital organs of a virgin sarcophilus satanicus.

In a former communication to the Linnean Society of N.S.W. I described the genital apparatus in a female specimen of Sarcophilus satanicus which had borne young, and in that paper drew attention to various phenomena, especially in connection with the median vaginal apparatus, which could only be satisfactorily explained by the examination of similar organs in the virgin animal. In the ordinary course of events, such an undoubted virgin would be difficult to procure, and, even if obtained, would be hard to recognise as such in our present knowledge of these organs in this genus. Nevertheless, since my last paper was written, through the kindness of Mrs. Roberts, C.M.Z.S., of Hobart, such a virgin has been placed at my disposal.
I am able to confirm and considerably augment my account of the genital organs in this genus.
I have nothing to add to my previous account of the external form of the female organs, except that in this specimen the Fallopian tubes seem slightly more convoluted than in the former specimen.
