fiich Vifcns, nor any thing analogous to it, unlcfi 
the Saccus that contain'd the Water already dc- 
ferib’d, may be efteemed fuch : And what feem'd to 
favour this Opinion, was the Difpofition of the 
cmulgent Veffels on the right Side, which were pro* 
pagated from the Aorta and Vena cava to this Sac- 
cus, in the fame manner as to the Kidney on the 
oppofite Side^ and, after having ran twelve or four- 
teen Inches between the Membranes of the Bag with- 
out any Ramifications, were diftributed all over it 
in the Manner before-mention’d. ^ 
From the foregoing Account the following Que- 
ries are naturally fuggefted, which I leave to the 
Determination of the Learned : 
Query i. Was not the Saccus originally amis-fhapen 
Kidney, and the Dud a Ureter ? 
Query 2. Was not the Water contained in the Sac- 
cus prevented from growing putrid, by being con- 
tinually drain'd off thro' the Dud into the Bladder 
of Urine, and by being afrefli fupplied by the 
emulgent Artery,- and more being fccreted than 
was evacuated, the Quantity thereby continually 
increafed ? 
Query 3- Was not this the Reafon why the Patient 
had never any anafarcous Swellings of her Thighs 
or Legs, nor any Thirft, or other Signs of a con- 
firm'd Dropfy? 
Qjiery 4. Were not the Lungs prevented from grow- 
ing by the great Diminution of the Cavity of the 
Thorax, and the Preffure they fuftain'd from the 
diftended Abdomen ? And might not their never 
having occupied a larger Space than they did at 
Birth, be the Reafon ffie never labour’d under any 
Difficulty of Breathing \
