โฆ Synopsis
The interspecific variation i n the positional and mesenteric relationship of the mammalian oviduct to the ovary observed among 41 species is summarized by distinguishing eight morphological types of relationship. The recognition of types is based on wide species differences in: the position of the oviduct with reference to the mesosalpiilxal fold and ovary; the extent to which oviducal mesenteries enclose the ovary in a periovarial sac; the degree of closure and method of formation of the peritoneal opening to the periovarial sac; and the morphology of the oviduct.

The vertebrate cranium is generally classified into the neurocranium and the viscerocranium. The latter is derived from the neural crest and so is the prechordal portion of the neurocranium. A view we favor considers the prechordal neurocranium as the premandibular component of the viscerocranium, a
