    [ 575 ] PLATE EIGHTH, This represents the uterus and vagina of an ass, on which the experi- ments were made to produce inflammation upon its internal surface.

The vagina is slit open on the opposite side to that represented in this plate, and the uterus is opened on the exposed side, shewing a coagulum, the end of which is in the beginning of the horn -3 the other horn is not opened. A. The vagina slit on the opposite side. BB. The common uterus slit open, which exposes the coagulum, CC. One of the horns of the uterus slit open at its junction with the com- mon cavity, in which lay the extreme end of the coagulum. D. The other horn unopened. EEEE. The coagulum hanging down from the vagina, to which it ad- hered, but loose at the lower extremity.
