Note 17 — PROLEGOMENA.
Reading edition
I possess a placenta exhibiting these appearances (78, 79) in so distinct and beautiful a manner, that it would be a violation of truth and sincerity, or a sure sign of ignorance, to state that they do not properly resemble those which are observed in the Chorion of some of the mammalia. Those are cotyledons. So are these. I shewed the preparation to Dr. Hugh Ley. He was delighted with it, and instantly admitted the similarity in question.
