R The bladder, almost empty, compressed between the anterior part of the womb and the upper side of the vagina. The following letters refer only to the figure of outlines, viz. SS Theoutside of the vagina in its natural situation between the bladder and TT The rectum. VV The levator ani and coccygeus muscles of the right side, by dissection turned down from the contents of the pelvis over the cut surface. The following letters relate only to the more finished figure, viz. XX The whole substance of the vagina, in the right side, cut from the neck of the womb and bladder, and turned down over the rectum, to show the orifice of the womb. Y The anterior lip of the orifice. Z The posterior lip of the same. When the vagina was thus opened, the lateral support being removed, the os uteri pushed out towards the right side. TABULA XXIII.

PLATE XXIII. Fnow the eighth subject, at six months. A fore-view of the womb, which was injected ; the anterior part, both of the womb and of the membranes, having been eut away, and the liquor amnii taken out to show the foetus, with a part of the placenta and of the navel-string. A — The bladder, in its situation with respect to the womb. It is moderately distended, and is covered with some large branches of the hypogastric veins. B The inside of the posterior part of the vagina. CC The hypogastric vessels, going into the neck of the womb, and sending branches to the bladder and vagina. DD The spermatic vessels, going into the duplicature of the broad ligament. EE Thetubes.—F F The fimbriz. GG The posterior lamella of the broad ligament: the anterior had been removed by dissection, to give a clearer view of the spermatic vessels, in their ascent to the fundus of the womb.

III The section of the whole substance of the womb, and of the membranes, by which the fore-part of the womb and of the secundines was removed, to expose their contents. K The navel-string, near its termination in the placenta. The placenta adhered to the posterior part of the womb, towards the fundus. The navel-string passed first downwards, over the left shoulder, and then upwards, behind the body of the child, to its termination at the placenta. In the left is seen a large convoluted artery, coming TABULA XXIV. À5 eodem cadavere. Fic. I.

The placenta, adhering to the fundus and back-part of the womb : its spongy substance is filled by the injection of the uterine vessels. Most of the parts in outlines were more fully represented and explained in the preceding plate. AA — The urinary bladder.—B The vagina. 7C The hypogastrie vessels.—.D ID 'The spermatic vessels. EE Thetubes.—7 F The fimbriz. GG The broad ligaments.—4H H The round ligaments. III The section of the womb and membranes.— K The navel-string. LL The placenta, adhering to the womb. None of the wax, injected into the vessels of the womb, had passed into the branches of those vessels which compose the navel-string; and as they con- tained only some blood, they were not distinctly marked, where they spread, from the navel-string, over the internal surface of the placenta. But the cells, or interstices in the spongy part of the placenta, were universally loaded with wax; either the blue, which was injected into the veins of the womb, or the red, which was thrown into the arteries. This is illustrated by Fig. II. M The membranes, coming out from the edge of the placenta, and investing the womb all around. The edge of the placenta, in this case, was much more elevated and distinct, its spongy substance being distended. Fre. II. AÀ section of half of the placenta, principally to show what thickness it had acquired, by its spongy cavities being filled with wax. ]ts internal surface.— 2B Its external surface. A. small portion of the membranes going off from the edge of the placenta, which was thickened, and rounded, by the injected wax. Most of the blue wax, which was first injected by the veis of the womb, was driven on towards the internal surface ; and the red wax, which was after- wards injected by the arteries, was lodged principally in the outer parts; but the two colours were, more or less, blended through the whole. Fr. III. The decidua, from the fore-part of the same womb, with the convoluted uterine arteries, which are dispersed through it. Fre. IV. The same part of the decidua, with the uterine veins, which ramify through it. These two figures were drawn separately, to avoid confusion. QR
