![842. A portion of colon which had been ulcerated from the same disease. The person recovered from the flux, and died from another malady. 843. A portion of the colon of a nobleman, with numerous ulcerations on its internal surface. 844. A portion of the rectum of a lady who died of dysentery; showing ulcera- tion of its internal coat. [Bristles are placed under various folds of the villous coat, to show the insidious character of the ulceration.] 845. A portion of the colon of a lion, laid open, to show its villous surface ragged in consequence of ulceration. [Long flakes of coagulated matter float in the cavity of the intestine.] 846. A portion of jejunum, showing soft white matter, apparently scrofulous, deposited in small masses between the peritonseal and muscular coats, along that part of the intestine furthest removed from its attachment to the mesentery; extending the whole length of the preparation, and giving to that part the appearance of an aggregate of inflamed glands. 847. The villous coat of the colon become thickened, and appearing as if com- posed of a congeries of small hydatids. [There is no further history of this preparation, and it is therefore difficult to determine if it be from the human body or not. These vesicles bear a striking resemblance to those observable on the intestines of hogs which are killed in the summer months, as shown in the preparation No. 600, with this difference, that they are here, on the internal, in that on the external surface.] 4. Concretions. 848. A portion of the colon of a horse with small calculi in its substance. [These concretions are of a dark-brown colour.] 5. Strictures. 849. Part of the colon laid open to show a stricture of that gut; from a woman who died in consequence of that complaint. [It is evident that an almost total obstruction had taken place. The intestine above the stricture is much dilated: below, it is in a very contracted state.] 850. Part of the colon laid open, to show an ulcerated stricture immediately above the rectum. 851. The rectum laid open to show an ulcerated stricture in it. L](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0085.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
