The category of Urysohn spaces is not cowellpowered

It is shown that the category of Urysohn spaces and continuous maps is not cowellpowered. To this end we will construct for each ordinal number β a Urysohn space Y_β with card $\text{(Y}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}\text{= ?}{}_0\text{?}\text{card}\text{(β)}$ and a continuous map $\text{e}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}\text{:}\text{Q}\text{→ Y}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}$ from the rationals into Y_β. It turns out that $\text{e}{}_{\mathrm{\beta }}$ is an external monomorphism in the category of Hausdorff spaces and an epimorphism in the category of Urysohn spaces.
