    2. Blood extravasated in consequence of Accident. 7. A section of the spleen of a man, ruptured in consequence of an injury : after which he became faint and low ; and the languor increasing, he died. The abdomen contained a considerable quantity of coagulated blood. 8. A very singular coagulum of blood of considerable dimension and extent; apparently formed within the upper part of the intestinal canal: having numerous impressions on its surface, similar to what might be expected to be produced by the valvulae conniventes. 9. The upper lip of an adult subject, on which the operation for hare-lip had been performed. 10. A longitudinal section of the tendo Achilles of a dog which had been broken transversely, and united by extravasated blood. The uniting substance had not been converted into true tendon, although it has ac- quired a fibrous appearance. 11. The other section of the same tendon. 12. The end of the crural artery after amputation ; containing a coagulum which Mr. Hunter believed he had injected. 13. A testicle, upon the body of which is a coagulum of blood adhering and injected. 3. Blood extravasated in consequence of Inflammation. 14. A section of the testicle of a man, extirpated at St. George’s Hospital by Mr. Gunning. The tunica vaginalis being filled with fluid was supposed to be a hydrocele ; but the fluid proved to be bloody serum. The body of the testicle and the tunica vaginalis were furred over with red coagu- lated blood, which proved to be highly vascular when the parts were in- jected. 15. The corresponding section of the same testicle. The coagulated blood is turned down in two places. [This section, as well as No. 14, shows a very distinct circumscribed deposition, of a yellowish-white colour, in the anterior and superior part of the testicle.] 16. Part of the tunica vaginalis belonging to Nos. 14 and 15, with a portion of the coagulum turned down, which is minutely injected. Another portion of the coagulum is seen hanging down loose, but not injected.
