A perpen- dicular section of the pelvis is then to be made by cutting through the ilia from their cristge into the upper part of the ischiadic notch: The rectum is to be cut through about three inches above the anus, and the upper portion removed with the sacrum. By thus laying bare the cavity of the pelvis, the relative situation of its contents may be examined without that displacement which some of them undergo in making the side view of the pelvis.
