Explanation of the Figures. 
A, The herniary fiftula, which does not appear in 
the figures of N° 460 j becaufe the iffue of the 
two portions of the gut, forced into this place the 
bottom (or back part) of the gut j which unites 
thefe two portions 5 that is, the part of the bore 
of the gut oppofite to that which was mortified, 
and fell off in an efchar, by the firangulation and 
fuppuration of this incomplete hernia. 
' B t Part of the ileum fituated between the ftrangula- 
lation and the anus, and confequently continuous, to 
the c£cum 3 colon , rectum , and therefore ufelefs :

Plate IV. N° 460, which I fa id always continued 
out, and on which I had made fo many unfuc- 
celsful trials, in order to reduce it. 
by Is the continuation of this ufelefs portion of the 
ileum , which at one end is immediately continu- 
ous to the caecum d, and at the other thrufts itfelf 
into the thick portion B, at the extremity B of 
which it turns up, the villous coat outward. This 
portion b is, as may be obferved, become very 
flender, both by its want of acfiion, and by its fix- 
ation within the other portion B. 
( 7 , The other portion of the ileum , fituated between 
the firangulation and the ftomach, marked A , 
460, a&ually returned into the belly but 
moving out and in alternately, and performing 
the office of an anus , while the patient was alive. 
f 3 The part of inteftine, which (after the mortifica- 
tion) remained common to both portions B, C> the 
edges
