![enlarged, in consequence of a stricture in the urethra, accompanied by disease of the bladder. 781. An ureter enlarged in consequence of a stricture in the urethra. [Ap- parently removed from the bladder No. 778.] 782. The pelvis of a kidney much enlarged : and the ureter, which is unusually tortuous, makes a close turn upon itself, and is firmly united to the de- scending portion. 783. A section of a kidney with its ureter laid open, to show a stricture in it. [The coats of the ureter are much thickened, in consequence of the obstruction.] 784. The kidney of a sheep, of which the substance is much wasted, and what remains is converted into a large cyst. The ureter was impervious at its lower part. 785. The pelvis of an Argus pheasant, with the kidneys and ureters in situ. [The kidney on the right side appears to be unusually large, and its ureter in a natural state; but the kidney on the left side is either ex- ceedingly diminutive, or some part of it has been dissected away, the better to expose its ureter, which is distended to about twenty times the size of that on the right side of the body. The cause of the obstruction and enlargement is not apparent.] Series XXV. Hydrophobia. 786. The oesophagus of a man who died with symptoms of hydrophobia. [The cuticular lining of the oesophagus has a cracked and parched appearance, particularly towards the lower part of the preparation. A transverse portion of the cuticle has been removed in order to show by comparison the smoothness of the surface of the inner or mucous membrane of the canal.] 787- The lower part of the oesophagus, with a portion of the stomach, of a man who died with symptoms of hydrophobia, from a bite. [The oesophagus shows an appearance in the cuticular lining similar to that in the pre- ceding preparation : this extends no further than the termination of the cuticle. The surface of the stomach has an abraded appearance.] k 2](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0079.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
