Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Wolffian Bodies of the Foetus, and Their Remains in the Adult: Including the Development of the Generative System
To narrate the various opinions and hypotheses which have been advanced in regard to the primary origin and the development of the Wolfiian bodies, would be almost useless, and certainly very perplexing, since, as far as I can see, Baer, Burdach and Rathke, Valentin, Reichart, Bischofi', and Follin, all seem to differ more or less from each other as to the former. Rathke held that they primarily arose from a single mass, but in this View he was singular, every other authority maintaining that at any rate they originated as two distinct bodies, developed in front of the aorta, which separates them.
