Abstract
The absence of the cranial three‐fifths of the vaginae of male mice carrying the gene, Testicular Feminization, provides strong support for the view that vaginal epithelium is of dual origin, the cranial three‐fifths being of Mullerian in origin and the caudal two‐fifths being derived from the urogenital sinus.Keywords
