of that fide. After a Divifionof the Common and Pro» 
per Integuments of the Aidomn^ together with its MuP 
cles in a Crucial Form , and the Fifcera of the lower 
Belly expofed ; the Omentum appeared very thin and 
MembranouSj cleaving to the left Kidney, which was ve- 
ry much intumified, and caufed that appearance of a 
large Tumor above-mentioned before DiflecStion ; this 
Kidney had taken place of the Spleen, and touched the 
bottom of the Stomach, and in fuch manner preft on 
part of the Colon, as very mueh kfTened the Diame-

very loofe, as if its proper Tone was much relaxt. The 
Inteflines being turned to one fide, the Pancreas appear-

ney of the left fide, I found the left Spermacick Vein 
very much extended, between the Kidney and theOx^^z- 
rium ; the upper part of that Vein being compreft by 
the fuperincombancyof the lowerpart of that Kidney ; 
infomuch that the Trunk of this Spermatick Vein was 
very much lefiened, immediately before it enters into 
the left Emulgent Vein. In freeing this Difeafed Kid- 
ney from its many adhefions to the Neighbouring parts, 
its outward Membrane happened to burft in two or 
three places, whence iflTued a large quantity of Grumous 
Blood. This Kidney vveighed five Pounds, and the o- 
ther but five Ounces, which was of a common fize , 
and no ways difordered. The outward Surface of this 
difeas'd Kidney, is expreft in the annext Figure. By 
the Diftenfion oi: the Membranous parts of the Kidney

Vreter F F was large through the intumefcence or thick-
