The female pelvic viscera mounted to shew an abscess on the right side, situated between the upper part of the bladder and the rectum. The right uterine appendages are lost in the mass of inflammatory tissue forming the wall of the abscess. The left Fallopian tube is thickened and dilated, and in the recent state contained pus. In the rectum and bladder are seen the openings through which the contents of the abscess discharged.
