![“surface of the vagina adhered across the os tincse to the posterior “ surface, so that the os tincae was wholly obliterated; and on intro- ducing the finger into the vagina it was conducted forwards to the “ fundus of the bladder, which was pretty perfect.”—&c.—“ The parts “ are in the possession of that ingenious anatomist Mr. John Hunter.” This description proves how nearly unintelligible and valueless a very interesting preparation becomes when its history is wanting.—The only notice it had, was written on the top of the bottle : viz. “ Vagina Rectum and Bladder communicating.”] 985. A foetus evidently at the full period of gestation, of which nothing more is found on record than that it was “ Expelled by the rectum similar to a “ natural labour. 1792.” 986. A human ovum from which a section has been removed to expose its cavity. [An extravasation of blood had taken place, apparently between the am- nion and chorion, and, coagulating there, has formed a very thick and dense substance. Numerous rounded protuberances or cysts project into the cavity containing the embryo : some of them were filled with fluid blood; one of the largest of these has been laid open, and its contents removed.] 987. The labia pudendi of an infant, showing a peculiar disease of that part, with which very young children are sometimes affected. [The parts are much enlarged, and very turgid, as if in consequence of ecchymosis.] 988. A part of the uterus of a sow, in which the young pig had died and become rotten ; in consequence of which the mother died also. 989. A portion of the horn of the uterus of a sheep, containing the head and one foot of a lamb that had remained in utero after the usual period of gestation, and had contracted adhesions to it. 990. An adjoining section of the uterus, showing adhesions between it and the neck of the young animal. 991. Another section, showing similar adhesions between the uterus and one of the hind extremities. 992. A portion of the skin of a calf, that had lain in the uterus of its mother two years after it had arrived at the full period of gestation ; still fresh. 993. One of the feet of the same calf.
