10 Jackson's Dissection of 



ed again to four and a half inches. Mucous membrane at 

 first quite thin and smooth,, but thrown into longitudinal folds 

 after the intestine became smaller. Muscular coat thick ; 

 fibres mostly transverse, but throughout there were some lon- 

 gitudinal. 



Aggregate glands. In the coecum and ascending colon 

 were numerous patches resembling in structure those found 

 in the small intestine. In the female there were seven 

 about the coecal valve, from two to five lines in diameter, of 

 a dark grey color, partially covered by the peculiar mem- 

 brane above described, and having at first sight the appear- 

 ance of burrowing, cicatrizing ulcers; in the coecum were 

 four others, about three lines in diameter and resembling the 

 above. In the first part of the colon were numerous patches 

 without the membrane ; generally from two to three lines in 

 diameter, but one, which was nearly circular, was over an 

 inch, and another, of an oval form, measured six b}^ eight 

 lines. The patches in the male were much less numerous ; 

 in the colon were five, from two to four lines in diameter, 

 having the peculiar membrane, but being much less grey 

 than in the female. 



The Liver was an irregular, flattened organ, consisting 

 mainly of one large right lobe, from the anterior part of 

 which there extended a long, thin, narrow lobe towards the 

 left side. In the male, the transverse diameter of the two 

 lobes, taken together, was twentysix and a half inches ; right 

 lobe twentyone inches antero-posteriorly, and three and one half 

 inches thick ; left lobe twelve inches long, from five and one 

 half to nine inches wide, and one inch thick ; the female was 

 rather smaller. On the surface were numerous irregular fissures 

 and small imperfect lobes. The organ had a bluish ash-color, 

 was quite dense though flaccid, and seemed made up of large 

 and very distinct granulations. Near the posterior edge of the 

 right lobe in the male were two morbid productions, each about 

 one inch in diameter, of a regular, rounded form, and well de- 

 fined, the surrounding substance being quite liealthy ; one 

 was apparently a tuberculous mass, white, opaque, and curdy ; 

 the other was an hydatid, consisting of a firm external cyst,
