![age, whose hymen was perfect. It contains a considerable quantity of hair, mixed with fatty matter; and on one side a firm substance, from which projects an imperfectly formed tooth. There is also a small cyst attached by a pedicle to the Fallopian tube, which is not an uncom- mon occurrence in uteri otherwise healthy. 4. Cysts resembling Hydatids. 523. A cyst of considerable size in the cerebrum of a lady. The cavity is lined by a thin smooth membrane, which is partially reflected to show it more distinctly. 524. Small cysts, usually denominated hydatids, in the human plexus choroides. [These little vesicles may, sometimes, be inflated with air from the veins.] 525. A similar preparation, in which is seen small cysts which contained a white opaque fluid. This fluid did not effervesce with acid. 526. The plexus choroides of Dr. Solander, in which two or three of the little cysts were filled with a whitish cream-like matter. 527- A longitudinal section of the humerus of an ox, whose medullary cavity is filled with a glossy semi-transparent cyst, resembling a hydatid, which contained fluid, but is now distended with cotton. The cancellated struc- ture, together with part of the parietes of the bone, have been absorbed, in consequence of the increase of the cyst. 528. A small transparent cyst on the surface of the spleen. [Probably of an ox.] 529. A transparent cyst, or spurious hydatid, on the surface of a kidney. Part of the substance of the gland has been absorbed, and a quantity of fat that has been deposited in its place, surrounds the pelvis. 530. A large transparent cyst, or spurious hydatid, on the surface of a kidney. 531. A very large cyst, or spurious hydatid, on the surface of a kidney. 532. A kidney, on the surface of which is a cyst, or spurious hydatid, several times larger than the kidney itself. 533. Section of a large kidney. Cysts and spurious hydatids are dispersed through its whole substance; and innumerable small ones are evident on its external surface.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0056.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
