Gentlemen,' 



A V I N G wrote to my brother a few 

 obfervations which I had made ire 

 Examining a gravid uterus, he defires me 

 to add fuch of them as I thought mighc 

 be a proper fupplement to the paper which 

 he fent you lately on this fubjedt. 



The woman I difTedled was about for- 

 ty years of age, had born four children,- 

 and was faid to be five months gone with 

 ehild ; her uterus being almoft as large 

 as in niy brother's fubjed, though more 

 of an oval fhape, with the forepart of ic 

 contiguous to the peritoneum. 



Having obferved fo far haftily, I wra-s 

 obliged to remove it from the 5oHy.
