    to the impossibility of dissociating the functions of the bladder and prostate, the latter author remarks: I would propose the name Orbicularis vel Sphincter urethra for both the prostate and the prolongation around the membranous urethra; whilst I would confine the old term, prostate (without the word gland) to the thickened and more powerful part near the neck of the bladder. This orbicularis may be considered as only an advanced portion of the cir- cular layer of the bladder, though it must have the power of acting independently of the vesical fibres. The truth of this I never fully realised until I had practised, and watched the result of, a considerable number of operations, undertaken with the view of permanently relieving urgent symptoms attendant upon the large prostate. 41, Rodney Street, LrvKRPooi..
