![663. A section of a scirrhous tumour from the rectum of an ox. It is of con- siderable dimensions, and its structure is remarkably distinct. 664. The other section of the same tumour. 665. A cancerous ulcer in the rectum. 4. In the Organs of Generation. 666. A human uterus, to show that the whole of the vagina, where it was con- nected with the uterus, has been destroyed by cancerous ulceration. Q67- An uterus in which the cervix is principally involved in a cancerous fun- gated ulcer. [The ulcer apparently communicated with the cavity of the abdomen.] 668. A similar preparation. 669. A preparation in some measure similar, but the disease is chiefly confined to the fundus uteri, which is, in consequence, distended to a size equal to that of the fourth month of pregnancy. Presented to Mr. Hunter by Mr. Lynn. 670. Supposed cancer of the urinary bladder of a woman who died in St. George’s Hospital. The ulceration has committed very extensive ravages. A quill marks the situation of the cervix uteri, the os tincse having been destroyed. The body of the uterus is but little affected by the disease. 671. A vagina in which cancerous ulceration has produced a communication between it and the urinary bladder. [Great inflammation appears to have attended the progress of the disease.] 672. The bladder of a gentleman laid open anteriorly, showing two cancerous, excrescent, or fungated spongy bodies, arising from its inner coat, and projecting into its cavity. When recent, these bodies had a good deal the appearance of piles, and were each of the size of a small walnut. The muscular coats of the bladder were thickened but not diseased. Some parts of the inner coat were hardened, and appeared as they would have done had lunar caustic been applied to their surface. The disease had apparently existed about sixteen years, and the symptoms gradually increased in violence till death. 673. A section of a glans penis which is converted into a fungous excrescence. 674. The other section of the same penis.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0067.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
