the child's body was lodged at the bottom of it in a bended 
poiture, with the head proje6^ed forwards, which formed the 
prominence near the navel 5 this bag Teemed to be nothing elie 
but an elongation and diftenfion of the T^ulpa, and an expanfion or 
production "of the broad ligam.ent on the right fide, which was 
evident from its continuity to thole parts, and the diflribution of 
the jpermatic veflels, which were larger than ulbal, and pafTed 
from the extremity of the Tuba to the larger lump : The womb 
was entire, and in its natural Hate, except that it was Ibmething 
larger than ordinary, being about the fize of that of a woman 10 
or r 2 days after her delivery, and there were no figns that the 
child had been lodged therein. 
M. youey having oblerved this, called for feveral eminent 
phyficians and chirurgeons, and the womb being carefully 
difleded, it was unanimoufly agreed, that the Fostus had never 
been therein 5 it being in the fame ftate, as in women that are 
not with Ciiild, except the fmall dilatation of its bulk, which 
might arife from a compreflion of the veffels, and interception 
of the refiuent blood, by the unnatural pofition of the Fcetus : In 
thrufting a long and {lender probe thro' the right horn of the 
Uterus, it eafily pafled into the I'uba of the fame fide for three 
fingers breadth, in length two, but could not be thruft farther, 
by reafon of the conflridtion of the Tul^a in that part; the 
capacity of the Tul^a could not be diftingui/hed ^ its 'ParieteSy 
by their coalition with the Chorion and Amnion of the child, 
forrning the bag, in which the child was included, which ex- 
tended from the tube on the right fide to that on the left, was 
agglutinated to the Vifcera in the lower belly, to the ReBumy 
and back part of the womb, as appeared by fome fragments 
remaining on thofe parts after the feparation.

an appearance exactly like the former, but on the oppofite fide
