. [ It ] 
Mr. Gardiner dying on Saturday the 2d of Ja- 
nuary 1741-2. the next Morning, in the Prefence of 
Mr. St. Hill , and Mr. Wall , I opened his Bladder, 
and therein obferved fix preternatural Apertures of 
different Sizes, the biggeft capable of admitting the 
Top of my Finger. Each of thefe Openings led to a

the Fibres of its mufcular Coat. 
Thefe Bags are to be feen on the back Part of the 
Bladder, a little above the VeficuU Seminales > and

within, already mentioned ; and divided from 
one another by the Duplicature of the internal Mem- 
brane, which forms a Septum between each of 
them. 
In thefe Sacculi , or Bags, are contained nine 
Stones ; the largcft about the Size of a fmall Nut-

out of, and returned into, the Sacculi , the following 
Circumftance will clearly evince. 
When I had open’d the Abdomen , Mr. St. Hill \ 
handling the Bladder, brought two of thefe Stones 
up to its Fundus , where they were felt by Mr. Wall 
and mylelf. We then examined the Kidneys: 
The Right contained a little Matter, otherwife it 
was as it fhould be : But of the Left, Two- thirds 
were wafted ; its Telvis was contracted in Propor- 
tion, and the Ureter almoft impervious. Upon 
rehandling the Bladder, neither of us could feel any 
Stone ; I therefore laid it open, and we found them 
all in the Sacculi . The Stones that are in one of 
thefe
