Series XX. Diseases of the Urinary Organs. 613. A urinary bladder, with the ureters and kidneys injected. The ureters are exceedingly dilated; the pelves and infundibula are prodigiously enlarged, and the kidneys themselves appear to have almost entirely lost their na- tural structure. 614. A corroded cast, in wax, of a section of the bladder, and of the urethra, in which a stricture existed in the membranous part of that canal. 615. A corroded cast, in wax, of a urethra, in which a stricture existed in the membranous part; attended by ulceration, and fistulae in perinaeo. Series XXL Miscellanea. 616. A portion of the intestine of a hog, the peritonaeal coat of which is in several places covered with, or raised into, small pellucid cysts containing air: an appearance very frequently observable on the Intestines of hogs that are killed in the summer months. [See No. 500. Pathological Preparation in Spirit:—another portion of the same intestine.] 61/. The cyst of a large incysted tumour, from a sheep. 618. A similar preparation, [probably from the liver.] 619. Some minute hairs, an inch long, from a fistula which formed on the os coccygis. 620. The heart and large blood-vessels of an individual, whose spine was very much curved forwards ; showing that the aorta and vena cava are adapted to the distorted state of the spine, so as to retain nearly their original relative situations. [This specimen is apparently from the same indivi- dual as the dry Pathological Preparation No. 159.] Series XXII. Casts in Plaster. 621. A cast of the right arm of a man, in which existed an aneurismal varix, in consequence of the artery having been wounded through the vein, in the operation of phlebotomy.
