The prostate glands. — The name of pro- state gland is restricted by Cuvier to those glandular masses of analogous structure to the human prostate, the excretory canals of which open by one or several orifices into the com- mencement of the muscular portion of the urethra, or into the first portion of that canal. In some cases, however, the representatives of the prostate are made up of numerous rami- fied and complicated tubes, in which case they are called tubular prostates. In the hare and the rabbit, this gland is represented by the glandular mass, which, as above described, forms a portion of the walls of the vesiculos semi- nales, and which extends for some distance upon the muscular portion of the urethra (fig. 281. c).

In the Alpine marmot it forms a consider- able mass situated above the commencement of the urethra, divided posteriorly into two roundish lobes.
