with a confiderable Tumour at the Left Hypochon - 
drium. 
Her Body was opened. The Abfcefs of the Right 
Hypochondrium was between the common and proper 
Membrane of the Liver. The Tumour on the Left 
Side was almoft as thick as one’s Head, and twice as 
long. It was between the common and proper Mem- 
brane of the Spleen. It ran between the floating 
Parts of the Abdomen, had difplaced them, and went

mucilaginous tranfparent, and yet very eiaftic Mem-

Skin, or what is called a Goofe’s Skin. The fofcett: 
and moft gelatinous of thefe Membranes were very

contained in all thefe Hydatides was intirely like the 
aqueous Humour of the Eyes.

The Bag that contained thefe Hydatides was pretty 
fmooth on the Side oppofite to the Spleen; that is to

Membrane of the Spleen, or by the T.enton<&um> was-
