the transverse process of the fourth lumbar vertebra. They were 

 flattened behind, and each measured in length l^V inch, in breadth 



At the anterior and external extremity a portion was separated 

 froiii the ręst by a deeply indented line, and resembled a patch 

 stuck on. The vveight of the two kidneys was loz. 54 drachms. 

 The urinary bladder, pyriform, and raeasuring, vvhen moderately 

 distended, 34- inches in length and \į in diameter, was situated 

 chiefly above the brim of the pelvis. 



The testes were barrel-shaped,l4 inch longand į- in diameter. The 

 epididymis was of a triangular form, about į- inch long and the šame 

 in diameter, and attacbed by the apex of the triangle to the extre- 

 mity of the tęstis. The vasa deferentia terminated at the sides of 

 the verumontanum. The vesiculcp seminales, 2į inches in length, 

 consisted of a middle portion, into which sixteen or eighteen little 

 appendices opened : they terminated at the sides of the verumonta- 

 num. The prostate glands, four in number, formed of masses of 

 convoluted vessels, the tvvo superior ones evidently diftering in tex- 

 ture from the tvvo inferior, terminated in the šame situation. Cow- 

 per's glands were of the size of kidney beans, internally veryspungy^ 

 and filled with glairy fluid. 



The /»eww was 4 inches in length. Its museles consisted oftwo 

 levatores penis, arising from the posterior margin of the os pnbis 

 olose to the symphysis, sending forwards two tendons running upon 

 the dorsum penis to be inserted into the bone covering the dorsai 

 aspect of the glnns : and tvvo erectores penis, arising from the vvhole 

 length of the posterior margin of the os pubis, and embracing the ex- 

 ternal aspect of the crus penis on each side, into the sheath of vvhich 

 they vvere inserted. The ejaculatores seminis vvere very massive ; and 

 the urethravery muscular. The glans pejiis was lįinch inlength,and 

 bifid at the extremity, vvhich contained a spacious orifice, at the bot- 

 tom of vvhich vvere seen tvvo smaller apertures : the anterior ofthese 

 was the opening of the urethra ; the posterior led to a rugous canal 

 about į inch in length, at the bottom of vvhich vvere placed tvvo 

 osseous spurs, vvhich, by a muscular apparatus, may be protruded 

 from the extremity oi the penis. Externally \.he glans vvas studded 

 with very fine bristles, both upon its upper and lovver surface, vvhich 

 vvere arranged for the most part in longitudinal lines pointing back- 

 wards. From the lateral aspects of the middle half of the glans 

 projected tvvo horny platės, serrated at their external margin, all 

 the minute teeth pointing backvvards. 



The morbid appearances observed vvere tubercles in the lungs, 

 liver, and kidneys.
