The appearances which Morgagni defcribes, and fuppofes to be the remains of ruptured Hydatids, I took notice of feveral years ago in found Tef- ticles, Where no Hydrocele had ever ex- ifted : from which time I hate never failed feeing, and often demonftrating them, ill all the adult Tefticles I have examined* And fmce the publication of his work, De Caufis Sc Sedib. Morbor. I have looked for them in fubjefts of all ages, and have hi¬ therto found them as conftantly in in¬ fants as adults.
