    CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PATHOLOGY OF THE BLAD- DER AND URETER—EXTROYERSIO VESICLE AND APPARENT LOW IMPLANTATION OF THE URETER END. By D. Berry Hart, M.D., F.R.C.P. Edin., Lecturer on Midwifery and Diseases of Women, School of the Royal Colleges, Edinburgh, etc. (Plate XXXVII.) I wish to consider more fully in this communication two com- paratively rare malformations—extroversio vesicse and low im- plantation of the apparent terminus of the ureter. I had alluded to the nature of the former in the preceding paper, and wish to elaborate that explanation more fully. The low im- plantation of the ureteric end is much more uncommon than extroversion of the bladder, and the explanation of its nature also arises indirectly from the views expressed in the same paper as to the fate of the lower segment of the Wolffian duct. I. Extroversio Vesicle and its Allied Lesions. The causation of extroversion of the bladder, from an embryo- logical point of view, has attracted of late little attention in this country, despite the able papers of Wood and of Champneys, and the more recent work of Kolliker, Graf Spee, Lieberkuhn, Tour- neux, Retterer, Keibel, and others. In prosecuting a research on the morphology of the urino- genital tract, the question of extroversion of the bladder came up, and as some obscure points seem to me to be cleared up by my own work, I went into the matter more fully, and now wish to give my results. The descriptions of the development of the bladder current in British text-books have not sufficiently noted more correct views, and this is an additional reason for a recon- sideration of this subject. Through the kindness of Dr Champneys, of St Bartholomew’s, London, I obtained a coloured drawing of his valuable specimen. To Professor MacEwan, of Dundee, I am greatly indebted for a photograph and cast of a case in a young boy under his charge,
