limited post mortem would allow, that all the voluntary muscles,
including even the diaphragm and intercostals, were
similarly affected. The heart and the other hollow muscles
were, however, perfectly free from such deposits.—Doctor
Cranfielcl. Enniscorthy.
E. b. 11 35. A biceps muscle, in the centre of which lies a
large, hard, osseous deposit. It appears more connected with
the tendinous than the muscular structures.—Dr. J. Browne.
E. b. 1136. A portion of adductor muscle, from the case of
malignant disease of the thigh-bone, marked E. a. 832. Several
distinct circumscribed masses of fungoid matter are shown
embedded in the flesh, and surrounded with well defined cysts.
—Dr. Houston.
E. b. 1137. Two leaden bullets lodged in the flesh of the
thigh. They had ceased to produce any irritation, and are
shown, surrounded by distinct cysts: the metal is coated
with a whitish oxidized crust.—J. W. Cusack, Esq.
• E. b. 1138. Several loose slugs, found in the flesh of the
leg : in appearance they resemble the foregoing.—Prof. Kirby.
URINARY AND GENITAL ORGANS.
F. a. 1. Inflammation of the kidney, consequent on long-
continued disease of the bladder: see F. a. 140. The organ
is slightly enlarged; its tissue is in some parts indurated, in
others, softened; a yellowish deposit, like lymph, is interspersed
through its substance, and in the recent state numerous,
small purulent deposits were observed both on the surface
and in the interior. The pelvis and commencement of the
ureter are dilated.—A. Colies, Esq.
F. a. 2. Inflammation of the kidney, apparently of scrofulous
character. The patient laboured under disease of the
bladder: see F. a. 172. The kidney is enlarged and its capsule
is thickened. In the interior are seen the cavities of
numerous small abscesses, which contained, in the recent state,
a curdy, semi-fluid pus : they have no cysts, their walls being
formed by the tissue of the organ in a softened and broken
down condition. Those portions of parenchyma intervening
between the abscesses are quite dense and solid.—J. W.
Cusack, Esq.
F. a. 3. Enlargement and suppuration of the kidney. The
abscesses are situated towards its upper extremity : they are
three in number, and each possesses a thick, firm cyst. The
remainder of the organ is indurated : the calyces are, for the
most part, obliterated; and the pelvis is contracted from
thickening of its lining membrane. The ureter is much
