Introduction 151
Of the manner and order of acquiring knowledge 154
Of the same matters, according to Aristotle 158
Of the method to be pursued in studying Generation 163
ON ANIMAL GENERATION.
Wherefore we begin with the history of the hen's egg 169
Of the seat of generation 171
Of the upper part of the hen's uterus, or the ovary 172
Of the infundibulum 179
Of the external portion of the uterus of the common fowl 180
Of the uterus of the fowl 190
Of the abdomen of the common fowl and of other birds 195
Of the situation and structure of the remaining parts of the fowl's uterus 198
Of the extrusion of the egg, or parturition of the fowl, in general 201
Of the increase and nutrition of the egg 202
Of the covering or shell of the egg 204
Of the remaining parts of the egg 211
Of the diversities of eggs 216
Of the production of the chick from the egg of the hen 225
The first examination of the egg; or of the effect of the first day's incubation upon the egg 228
Second inspection of the egg 232
The third inspection of the egg 234
The fourth inspection of the egg 243
The fifth inspection of the egg 252
The sixth inspection 256
The inspection after the tenth day 257
The inspection after the fourteenth day 259
Of the exclusion of the chick, or the birth from the egg 264
Of twin-bearing eggs 268
Certain deductions from the preceding history of the egg 270
Of the nature of the egg ib.
The egg is not the product of the uterus, but of the vital principle 279
The egg is not produced without the hen 284
Of the manner, according to Aristotle, in which a perfect and fruitful egg is produced by the male and female fowl 287
Of the uses of this disquisition on fecundity 291
The egg is not produced by the cock and hen in the way Aristotle would have it 293
Nor in the manner imagined by physicians 294
The male and the female are alike efficient in the business of generation 296
