cretions of the prostate and semi-nal vesicles, when these latter organs are affected. It is,in fact, an index of no little importance to the conditionof the prostate. The orifices of the ejaculatory ducts or utricle oftenbecome dilated when disease of the prostate or vesiclesexists, and are liable to engage the point of a small instru-ment, in an effort to force an entrance into the bladder,and becomes arrested, when a larger instrument will passover these orifices and enter the bladder with ease. Dr. R. W. Taylor, of ISTew York, gives two excellentillustrations of these organs in his late work on genito-urinary diseases. Fig. II gives a front view, showing the bladder andurethra opening upon the front surface: 1, the trigoneand orifices of the ureters; 2, prostate and prostaticurethra; 3, bulb of the urethra with opening of Cowpersglands; 4, verumontanum with orifice of utricle; 5, open-ings of ejaculatory ducts; 6 and 7, openings of the pros-tatic ducts.

Fig. III. (R. W. Taylor.) 16 PROSTATE GLAND AND ADNEXA. Fig. Ill gives rear view of the same organs: 1, ureters;3, ampulla; 3, seminal vesicles; 4, prostate; 5, Cowpersglands; 6, bulb or urethra; 7, membranous urethra. Beneath the fibrous capsule of the prostate is a firmband of unstriped muscular fibers surrounding the baseof the organ and reflected downwards towards the apex.The same fibers radiate throughout the gland in the formof trabecule, forming meshes, through which the vesselsand nerves ramify. Interposed between these meshesthere are also numerous follicles that secrete a milk)^,alkaline fluid, which passes out through the prostatic ductsupon the floor of the urethra. The arteries are derived from the internal pudic, vesicleand hemorrhoidal, which are branches of the internal iliac. The veins form plexuses around the base and sides ofthe prostate, bladder and rectum, communicating freelywith the hemorrhoidal, spermatic, dorsal vein of the penisand pampiniform plexus. Thus t
