Series XXXIV. Diseases of the Kidneys. 1. Inflammation^ Cysts, S^c. 921. The right kidney of a lady. The emulgent vein is laid open, to show that its canal had been obstructed by a firm coagulum of blood, 922. A kidney laid open, to show the pelvis in a state of ulceration; and the ureter thickened, contracted, and lined with coagulated lymph. 923. A section of a kidney in which the pelvis is enlarged, as are also the infun- dibula. [From the appearance of the mammae, and the calculous matter remaining, it is probable that a large calculus occupied the pelvis.] 924. A portion of kidney, to show an abscess in its substance. From a man who died in St. George’s Hospital, after the operation for the stone. 925. A kidney with a diseased pelvis and ureter. [They are both much en- larged, and lined with coagulated lymph and calculous matter.] 926. A very diminutive kidney, with its ureter much enlarged. The patient never referred to any complaint in this kidney : the other was of the natural size. 927. A diseased kidney ; the substance of it being wasted, and the infundibula become globular. 928. Section of an adult kidney, with enlarged pelvis and ureter. In its sub- stance are numerous small abscesses. 929. A kidney with spurious hydatids on its surface ; together with tubercles, apparently scrofulous, projecting from it. 930. A kidney almost entirely surrounded by a spurious hydatid or cyst with very dense coats. 931. A section of a kidney, to show fat formed on the pelvis. The ureter is much enlarged, and altered in form. [Both the kidney and ureter appear to be chiefly composed of fat, or of a substance equally semi-transparent and remote from natural structure.] 932. Two sections of a kidney, with a diseased capsula renalis, from a butcher whose sense of smelling was morbidly acute. The pelvis and most of the infundibula are nearly obliterated by a fatty deposition. [The capsula M
