Summary:
Let ${(e_\beta : {\bold Q} \rightarrow Y_\beta)}_{\beta \in \text{\bf Ord}}$ be the large source of epimorphisms in the category $\text{\bf Ury}$ of Urysohn spaces constructed in [2]. A sink ${(g_\beta : Y_\beta \rightarrow X)}_{\beta \in \text{\bf Ord}}$ is called natural, if $g_\beta \circ e_\beta = g_{\beta'} \circ e_{\beta'}$ for all $\beta,\beta' \in \text{\bf Ord}$. In this paper natural sinks are characterized. As a result it is shown that $\text{\bf Ury}$ permits no $({Epi},{\Cal M})$-factorization structure for arbitrary (large) sources.
