Mr Malcolm furgeon in Dalkeith, 
whofe patient fhe was, being allowed to 
open her corpfe, cut out the affected part 
of the inteftine, and fent it to me. The 
end of the zum, valvula Tulpi, caput coli, 
and appendix vermiformis, were raifed 
twelve inches within the colon, to which 
they had a flight adhefion. The outer 
furface of the contained inteftines was 
dark coloured, and very unequal. The 
orifice of the prolapfed part was not at 
its end, but at one fide an inch and a 
half from the end, with a foft flexible pro- 
minence at each fide of the aperture, 
which I judge to have been Tulpius's : 
valve, The doubled parts were fo grown 
together, that I could not diftinguifh one 
from the other, The paflage within 
them was fo fmall and crooked, that I 
could not pufh a probe through it; but, 
cutting it open gradually, I found it was 
ftill pervious. _ RE .
