N. B- The Omentum and the Gut amputated, with 
the Pin perforating it, are in the Repofitory of the 
Royal Society. 
This Obfervation puts me in Mind of two I made 
during the late War in Flanders and of two more 
lately in London. 
Observation I. 
Upon opening the Body of a Soldier who had la- 
boured many Years with an Inguinal and Scrotal Rup- 
ture, I found in a Segment of the Ilion, an Appendix 
like a Coecum, about fix Inches long, arifing from 
that Gut, and nearly of the fame Diameter with the 
Gut itfelf, the Coats whereof were fomewhat thinner 
than thofe of the Ilion this Coecum did arife from, 
wdiofe Membranes and Dimenfions were Natural. 
This Elongation of a Segment of the Ilion appeared 
as if it had been lodged in the Rupture Bag it lay 
near to, and into which it had been ftretched along 
the Vagina of the Spermatick Vefiels down to the 
Tefticule, according to the Expanfion of the Rupture 
Bag, which was of the fame Dimenfion : This Pro- 
duction of the Ilion, or Appendix Ilii , was full of 
Faeces, fomewhat narrower at its Rife or Opening into 
the Ilion than elfewhere, but nearly refembling it, 
and as found as that Gut it fprung from. 
Observation II. 
A Soldier having been fhot through the Belly, the 
Ball was cut out upon the pofterior part of the Os 
Ilium.
