![These calculi were passed at different times during a period of three years, by Mr. Lee, aged 7L who in other respects enjoyed good health. Presented by TV. T. Brande, Esq., 1842. A 190. A small uric acid calculus mixed with urate of ammonia. Presented by TV. T. Brande, Esq., ] 842. A 191. Two small compact uric acid calculi, removed by operation by Sir E. Home. Presented by W. T. Brande, Esq., 1842. A 192. A section of a compact laminated uric acid calculus, measuring four inches in length by three inches across. Presented by TV. T. Brande, Esq., 1842. A 193. An uric acid calculus, the surface of which is highly tubercular, but the tubercles do not contain any oxalate of lime. The white portion im- mediately surrounding the nucleus is mixed with urate of lime and some urate of ammonia, while the rest of the calculus consists of tolerably pure uric acid of the ordinary colour. This difference has been produced by the patient having taken soda ; the presence of soda cannot, however, be detected. Presented by W. T. Brande, Esq. A 194. A section of a large pisiform uric acid calculus, showing the crystalline nucleus and laminated exterior belonging to that variety. (Vide Plate II. fig. 12.) This calculus was the second voided by the urethra of a nobleman above seventy years of age. Presented by Thomas Taylor, Esq., 1842. A 195. The two sections of a very compact uric acid calculus. Presented by the Family of the late John Abernethy, Esq., 1842. A 196. Twelve pisiform concretions, being part of fifty-eigbt that were found in the bladder of a person after death. Presented by G. J. Guthrie, Esq. A 19/- A section of an uric acid calculus, containing a large proportion of the earthy phosphates. It is very similar in appearance to A 186. Presented by TV. T. Brande, Esq., 1842. A 198. A renal calculus, taken from Gilbert Holker, M.D. The small irregular concretions accompanying this calculus were passed by the urethra. Presented by Thomas Taylor, Esq., ] 842.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b22007775_0001_0053.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
