Abstract
LONDON
Royal Society, Dec. 16, 1875.—Note on the Placentation of Hyrax, by Prof. Wm. Turner, of Edinburgh. The author describes the result of his study of a spirit specimen, his object being to verify or refute the recent statements of MM. H. Milne-Edwards and George, which, contrary to the observations of Sir E. Home, Owen, Huxley, and others, are to the effect that the placenta of Hyrax is non-deciduate. He shows that the placenta of Hyrax is deciduate, like that in the cat, which it resembles in form; it has also a large allantoic sac.
