VII.—The Development of the Germ Cells in the Mammalian Ovary, with special reference to the Early Phases of Maturation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
Although much literature has been published on the minute anatomy of the ovary, there are many controversial points remaining, and therefore the publication of the results of the examination of various mammalian types adds additional proof to the facts already staged by embryologists. Three years ago this work was taken up by me as a preliminary to an investigation into the distribution of the chromatic substance in cells which show malignant degenerative changes. The work has occupied so much time that the publication of the results has been necessarily delayed. In a paper on “Primary Cancer of the Ovary,” published in 1906, I stated, as the result of a somewhat limited observation on the later stages of the development of the human ovary, that the cells of the stratum granulosum were mesoblastic in origin. This view I have modified by the more thorough and extensive investigation of the present paper.
