REFERENCE TO THE CUT. 



The blade of the trocar is of steel, fixed into a wood- 

 en handle. The shape of the blade ol the trocar is oval. 

 The canula or sheath is an oval tube, which exactly 

 fits the blade of the trocar ; the concave circular plate 

 fixed at the end of the canula, forming a hilt, to pre- 

 vent the instrument from giving too deep a wound 

 when used : the end of the canula is worked down to 

 a sharp edge, that it may not obstruct the passage of 

 the instrument.
