The cavity of the pelvis is enclosed by the bones constituting the hips and buttocks {vide figure appended below), and it is to be borne in mind that the size of this cavity is materially con- nected both with the rapidity and with the safety of the act of parturition. I, Fig. 83. The above figure •well shows the pelvic cavity of a cow, and the bones which bound it, their relative connection with each other, and the way in which they form the opening through which the fcBtus passes in delivery. a. The pelvic cavity. 6. The sacrum, a continuation of the spine, c, c. The projections, called the hips, d, d. The bony proniinences of the buttocks. Many an animal has been lost owing to its pelvis being too narrow to allow of an easy and safe delivery. Hence the practical breeder should always bear in mind that, when the hips are narrow, the buttocks compressed together, and the spine drooping, the size of the pelvic cavity must be small, and parturition thereby rendered more dangerous. In the first place we must say a few words in reference to the organs and structures concerned in the process of generation in the cow. These, as in the case of most higher animals, consist of the vagina, the uterus and Fallopian tubes, and the ovaries, together with their several appendages. The vagina is a tube or canal leading from the exterior to the uterus. It is a mem-
