Allantoides

Allantois. The membrane, which forms part of the secundines, (from a sausage, or hog's pudding, because in some brutes it is long and thick, and likeness). It is also called alantoides farciminalis, the urinary membrane; but its existence in the human species is generally denied. If any anatomists have ever demonstrated, not one of them has given a distinct figure of it; all the engravings designed to represent it are too incorrect to afford us a distinct idea. 'dr. Hunter, in his lectures, absolutely denies the existence of this membrane, except in brutes.
