The Bulbs of the Vagina (bulbs of the vestibule, semibulbs of the clitoris),the homologues of the bulb of the penis, are two small pyriform erectile bodiessituated one upon each side of the vestibule, behind the labia minora, beneath thesphincter vaginse muscles, and on the superficial surface of the inferior laj^er of thetriangular ligament. Thej^ are about one inch, or two and one-half centimeters,in length, and are composed of a plexus of veins communicating with the veins ofthe clitoris. Each bulb is surrounded by a fibrous capsule derived from the infe-rior layer of the triangular ligament. The narrow anterior extremities of the two PLATE CGCXIX.

Rupture of one of the bulbs of the vagina, as theresult of an injury, gives origin to a hematoma, known as a pudendal hematocele ;it most frequently occurs in pregnant women. The Vulvo-vaginal Glands (Bartholins glands) are two compound racemoseglands which are the homologues of Cowpers glands in the male, but differ fromthe latter in size and situation. The vulvo-vaginal glands are placed on the deepsurface of the inferior layer of the triangular ligament, and are invested by acapsule formed by fibers from the deep surface of the ligament, whereas Cowpersglands lie in the substance of the compressor urethrse muscle. They are largerthan Cowjjers glands, an
