Certain features of the topography and structure of human bulbourethral glands (b.u.g.) were studied in 200 objects. The following parameters are described: 1. the main types of configuration of b.u.g.; 2. average size (without statistical deviations in different age groups of adults); 3. dense, lobular and scattered types of structure. Topographically the b.u.g. can be characterized as diaphragmal, diaphragm-bulbar and bulbar. According to anomalies of mutual disposition of twin glands they can be classified into separated, connected and inosculated ones. In single cases there occurred additional b.u.g. disposed in the bulb of penis, except normal glands localized in the urogenital diaphragm.
