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
