Mr. Ranby and Mr. Hawkins, furgeons, with 
Mr. Graham, were prefent at the opening of the 
body ; and from the two laft I received the account 
of the diffe£tion. 
The coats of the bladder appeared to be a little 
thicker than natural, but were otherwife found. The 
glandula profiata was of a large fize, but not diftem- 
pered. They found three calculi , two lying loofe in 
the bladder, and the other, a very fmall one, flicking 
in the paflage, at that part, which is furrounded by 
the proffate gland. Mr. Graham favoured me with a 
fight of them all. The two firft were very much 
alike, being of the fhape and fize of the kernel of a 
Spanifh nut; only the fides were irregularly flattened, 
but without forming any (harp angle. The furface 
of each was every where fmooth, except where there 
had been a feparation of fome fmall fcales, not fo thick 
as one's nail ; and the largeft exfoliation from one of 
thefe hones appeared to have been nearly about the 
breadth of the nail of my little finger. The polifh 
otherwife, as well as the colour of both, might be 
compared to a boy’s marble. One of thefe calculi 
weighed 21 grains, the other 22 grains: they were 
heavy for their bulk, and feemingly of a hard fub- 
ffance. The fmalleft hone having been put up with 
fome others of the fame fize, taken out of the gall- 
bladder, Mr. Graham could not be pofitive which 
of them it was ; and therefore I can only fay, that 
what he thought mod likely to be fo, was about 
the fize and fhape of the feed of an apple, with the 
point broken off and the edge ragged. This, as I 
obferved, was found in the paffage, feemed to be 
coming away, and probably had occafioned that irri- 
tation
