The specimens in this table are arranged in order of the thickness of the wall which separates the Graafian follicle from the surface of the ovary. Generally speaking, those with the thinnest wall are the larger follicles, though this is not an invariable rule, as may be seen from an inspection of the table. It would therefore appear that there is considerable variation in the size of the follicle independent of its proximity to the surface.
In specimens 453 B 14 and 453 A 85 (marked *) the contained ova, after examination, have been pronounced mature. In specimens 458 À 3 and 380 98 (marked **), the contained ova are in the process of maturation.
