The changes in the size of human oviduct and ovary after immersion in formalin (4%, 10%) were investigated. The results were as follows : 1. After fixation, the length of oviduct was significantly reduced to 93%, but the cross sectional area of oviduct was significantly increased. The length of oviduct showed no significant difference between 4% and 10% formalin. The length of ovarian ligament was also significantly reduced to 84% after fixation. 2. After fixation, the volume of oviduct was increased significantly and showed a difference between the two fixatives. The volume of oviduct in 4% formalin has increased to 107%, as compared to 103% increase in 10% formalin. 3. After fixation, the volume of ovary was increased significantly and showed a difference between the two fixatives. The volume of ovary in 4% formalin has increased to 109%, as compared to 103% increase in 10% formalin.

A rare case in the pattern of the origin of the celiac artery was observed in the cadaver of a 64 year old Korean male and the results are summarized as follows. The superior mesenteric artery originated from the abdominal aorta at the level of the intervertebral dusk between first and second lumbar vertebra. At a point 4cm from the origin of the superior mesenteric arterr, a common trunk appeared and ran 1cm and then divided into the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery. The common hepatic artery divided into the right gastric artery and the proper hepatic artery at a point 4.5cm after the bifurcation. A common trunk formed by the left inferior phrenic artery and the lefts gastric artery arose from the abdominal aorta about 0.8cm about the origin of the celiacomesenteric trunk.

Changes in the state of water in senile cataractous lenses at the different stages of the maturation of cataract were investigated. Senile cataracts of 34 eyes were divided into 4 groups according to degree of lens opacity. Intracapsular cataract extraction was performed and wet weight, dry weight and water content of the cataractous lenses were measured. In incipient and immature cataract, wet weight was 197.4 +/- 20.6mg, dry weight 66.2 +/- 8.2mg and water content 130.6 +/- 15.2mg(66.2%). In mature and hyper mature cataracts, wet weight was 240.8 +/- 39.3mg, dry weight 53.4 +/- 8.3mg and water content 176.3 +/- 37.5mg(73.2%). Wet weight and water content were significantly increased and dry weight was significantly decreased with the maturation of cataract. Sexual differences of wet weight, dry weight and water content were not significant.
