Abstract
IN the course of an examination of serial sections of close on two hundred uteri and ovaries of Elephantulus myurus jamesoni in our studies on the menstrual and reproductive processes of this animal, we have had the opportunity of observing all phases of follicular and luteal growth in the ovary. This was facilitated by the fact that Elephantulus sheds up to sixty ova at a time from each ovary although only one embryo develops in each uterine horn. The corpus luteum does not commence to form after the extrusion of the ovum from the follicle, but rather before the ovum is extruded. In fact, the corpus luteum is responsible for ovulation (see accompanying illustration, 3).
