Note 442 — Chapter XII · (continued 4)

The views here expressed about the Wolffian duct are nearly though not exactly those which one of us previously put forward (Urinogenital Organs of Vertebrates, &c., pp. 45-46) [This edition, pp. 164, 165], and with which Fürbringer appears exactly to agree. Possibly Dr Fürbringer would alter his view on this point were he to accept the facts we believe ourselves to have discovered. Semper's view also differs from ours, in that he believes the Wolffian duct to correspond in its entirety with the segmental duct.
