    ( -5 ) OaXCULI of the prostate gland, are, as Dr. Baillie remarks, somewhat rare. On that account they are pro- bably too little suspected. It has however occurred to me to examine a few cases of this description. PLATE I. Specimens of Calculi in the Ducts and Substance of the Prostate Gland. The upper drawing represents the neck, and part of the bladder of a man about forty years of age, who died of retention of urine (1799). The prostate gland was not enlarged, but contained numerous small stones. The lower drawing is a section of a large prostate, belonging to a subject about seventy years of age, con- taining many angular calculi. The first was a private patient of one of the phy- sicians of St. Bartholomew’s hospital, who only saw him a few hours before his death, when the pain of the first stage of retention of urine had subsided. The bladder contained two quarts of water, and the kidnies and ureters were loaded with urine.
