| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the ova of woman and the mammiferous animals as they exist in the ovaries before impregnation, and on the discovery in them of a vesicle, analogous to that described by Professor Purkinje in the immature egg of the bird' by Thomas Wharton Jones |
| Date | 1835 |
| Description | Jones writes on ovaries, noting that 'the function of the ovaries of the mammalia is the same as that of the ovaries of birds and other ovipara'. He provides an overview of literature regarding ova and the ovaries, including reference to William Cruickshank's observations on the ova of rabbits, as published in Philosophical Transactions. Includes one page of figures of hen and human ova. Marked on back as 'withdrawn' by Peter Mark Roget.
