A A The upper part of the thighs.

turned down over the offa ilium. 'They are covered by the vafcular
peritoneum; which (in the left pdc efpecially) was partly cut away, to
fhew the courfe of the epigaflric veffels.

Thefe bones of the pelvis became loofe, from the lofs of the fymphyfis

T The cavity of the bladder expofed by an incifion through its forepart
from the urethra upwards.
U U The fmall or lower extremity of the womb, lodged in the cavity of the
pelvis. There was a manifefl conflriHion upon that part of it which
was furrounded by the brim of the pelvis; above which the womb fwelled
out immediately,being there embraced by more yielding parts.

Y Y Thefubflance of the womb cut quite through, from the fundus dcnanwards
on the right fide. In this feClion the cut veffels bear an irregular
figure, which was occafioned by the crumbling of the wax with which
they were filled. The veins are of a light colour, and large: the arteries
dark, andjmall in proportion. At the upper pari of the womb, both of
them are fniall in comparifoii with what they are lower down, where
they were pafjingfrom the fides of the womb to the placenta : and the
ihichiefs of the womb bears fome proportion to the fiie of its veffels in.
thefe different places.
ZZ The external membrane, or ieckhid., full of fmall branching veins
which pajed into it rom the internal furface of the womb.
a At this place the vafcular and opake decidua was carefidly removed:
there was no appearance of infeCled veins upon the chorion, or in the
amnion; both of which laere fo Iranfparent, that the chilisfkin could
be feen diflinilly through them.
b b A portion of the external furface of the placenta, interfperfed
partly with extravafated wax, from the venal fyflem of the womb, and
partly with infeHed veins, pafftng into it from the interior furface of the
womb.
c An artery filled with red wax, which was broken off from the womb.
It made one circumvolution, and plunged into the placenta.
d d The inner furface of that part of the womb which was in contact with
the decidua (Z Z) . Upon this furface the veins are feen broken o f f ,
ivhich difperfed their branches through the decidua.
e e The infide of that part of the womb which covered the placenta (b b).
Upon this furface there was indeed fome extravafated wax. But the
greateflpart of zuhat feemed, at firfi fight, to be extravafation, proved
to be infeSed veins, of a flattened figure with numerous anaftomofes,
paffingfrom the womb to the placenta in a very flanting direclion. The
following inflance may ferve as a fpecimen.
