marvellous changes whereby the
neutral documentary organs de-'

The anatomical structure on
which these hormones may act
consists OF our parallel tubes at
the hind end Of the body, open
ing into the cIoaca. The outer
tubes, or Wolffian ducts, will
carry the male glands; the in

will become the oviducts, or Fal.

the Wolffian ducts become the
vas deferens; the cloaca opening

the oviducts grow together in the
lower part to become the uterus,
the upper becoming the Fallopian
tubes; the Wolffian ducts persist
as vestiges in the broad ligament.
In the male the sex glands
descend: in the female they re-

course, a separate fork may be

salad with his meat fork, or with

achieve a daintier effect in the

every 500 has supernumerary
glands-three, four, even seven

are clearly a reversion to an
earlier mammalian condition. In
one case a large gland developed
in the middle of the back.
At first q depression appears
in the center of the gland-and

The migration of the glands in
the male is common to most
mammals, but only in man, due
to his upright gait. do the
inguinal canals through which
they pass remain weak spots
which may permit the escape OF a
loop of the intestine, causing
hernia.
The significant fact is that the
human embryo OF eight weeks has
the naakings Of male or a fe-
male. 1t follows that neither sex
possesses any anatomical parts
which are not found in homolog-
Gus parts in the other sex. The
beginnings Of all the parts arc
present from the start; later they
come to differ. BY change, by
shift in position, and by growth
or atrophy, the original neutral
mechanism becomes male or
female.

sion to an ancestral type which

irR the second month; at that
time the intestine and urogenital

is it possible to distinguish
male from female fetus. I'm
til this time the external and
internal anatomy is identical for
both sexes.
With the eighth week the cloa.
cal condition ceases and the
embryo develops into a male or
a female. Whether It Is to be.
come male or female is prob
ably determined when the ovum
is fertiszed. The decisive factor

 From the small head wounds and the downward course of arrows found in the bodies, Dr. Winlock says the men must have died storm dently having been caused by small missiles thrown from above. They
 were soldiers of King Menthuhotep D and the unusual honor paid them of
 burial in a royal tomb lead to the conclusion they fell in an important engagement.
 Other wounds on the bodies the article says, show that the wounded
