Abstract
The structure of the testis and its duct system is reviewed with refer ence to the preparations in the Hunterian Anatomical Collection, Glasg ow University, Scotland. The specimens were prepared over 200 years ag o by two surgeons, William and John Hunter. These specimens are of imp ortance as it would be extremely difficult today, to assemble such a l arge number of normal human specimens showing detailed epididymal and testicular anatomy.
