![Series XXXI. Hernia. 1. Intestines that have been strangulated. 875. Intestine strangulated in consequence of an adhesion between two parts of the mesentery. [It occurred near the termination of the ilium at the valve of the colon. The intestine has given way at this part.] 876. A portion of intestine which had been strangulated. [It is apparently ilium, and has been very closely constricted. The part below the con- striction is thickened and opaque; the upper portion has been distend- ed, and is bursten.] 877. A portion of small intestine, part of which has been strangulated in a hernia. The impression of the stricture is very evident. 878. A portion of small intestine that has been strangulated in a hernia. 879. A portion of small intestine that has been strangulated in a hernia. [The part which suffered the constriction is thickened and opaque ; and shows also the effects of inflammation on its surface.] 880. A portion of small intestine that had been strangulated twenty-four hours. [It appears to have been highly inflamed, and coagulated lymph is seen covering a considerable part of its external surface. The intestine has been injected ; but it is doubtful if any part of the coagulum has received the injection.] 2. Hernial Sacs. 881. A hernial sac. [The tunica vaginalis testis is opened and reflected back. The testicle is seen, reduced in size, at the lower part of the preparation. There are only a few very slight adhesions between the peritonaeal sac and the tunica vaginalis.] 882. A portion of a hernial sac, to show the valvular appearance of its internal orifice. 883. A large hernial sac laid open ; with portions of coagulated lymph near its orifice, the effects of inflammation. 884. A hernial sac, with adhesions of omentum round its upper margin.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0089.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
