    Tumoris parietes etsi erant collapsi et rugosi et ob banc causam crassiores; iis tamen pressis e vulnere exibat aqua non pauca, quae non- nihil graveolebat urinas pallidas similis, quas similitudo superioribus etiam diebus, ut dixi, animadversa et inter Chirurgos vulgata, quos- dam hie qaoque permoverat, ut urinariam vesicam cam tumore communicare suspica- rentur. Parietes duabus lirieis decussim ductis incisi dum caati ut indicabam diducerentur, manifesto apparuit spinalis medulla, tenui meninge con,- vestita, per quam distentis vasculis totam ru- bentem medullas corpus cum prodeuntibus nervis ad medium ferme illorum parietum secundum longitudinem arctius adharebat, ut ab his ipse debuerim leviter et suspensa manu sejungere, evidensque esset caeteras medullse tunicas in unum cum iisdem parietibus coaluisse. Nee diffluens erat medulla, sed etiam turn satis firm a quod ego inter digitos premendo percepi, et mox in transverse incisa substantia circum- eirea Candida, intima cinerea sic satis solida utraque confirmavit. Ampins autem erat quo- quo versus tumoris sinus, osseis lumbarium omnium vertebrarum partibus quae a tergo esse solent in la'era depresses, absumptisqueadearum usque corpora quas tumoris parietem anteriorem faciebant. Nulla usquam putreclo, nigrities nulla. Morgagni.
