loweft: and anterior point of the bag. Befides what 
appeared upon the front view of the bag, a large 
portion of it, like a ridge, extended backwards, where 
the fpace betwixt the thighs allowed it more room ; 
they being rather more concave than ufual, 
inwardly, towards each other; and more diftant, from 
the conftant preftiire they fuftained. The colour of 
the bag was the fame as that of the other parts, 
except where the mortified floughs had been caff off ; 
where it was of a fhining white. Upon opening the 
abdomen, the liver appeared rather large, and farther 
extended over the left fide than ufual. The gall- 
bladder was fmall, with a little diluted bile in it. 
None of the inteftines appeared, but a portion of the 
colon, towards the anterior edge of the pelvis, on the 
left fide; where it made two inflections, much in the 
way as the lowed: turns of the inteftines are fhewn 
to do, below the omentum, in Euftach. Tab. IX, 
from thefe it went downwards, and backwards, into 
the pelvis, to make its Iaft curve, and be continued into 
the reCtum : which, with that laft: curve of the colon, 
was in its natural place and direction. The ftomach, 
inftead of an horizontal, had a longitudinal pofition; 
its large, and here upper extremity, being placed be- 
hind the left lobe of the liver, clofe to the diaphragm, 
and its large convex fide lay along the left fide of the 
abdomen ; it defcended to nigh the crefl of the os 
ilium, from whence it turned over the inflection of 
the colon, before-mentioned, acrofs the pelvis, to the 
large hernial aperture, in the right fide; within the 
verge of which, it ran downwards about an inch, 
then afcended, and made a femicircular turn to the 
pylorus, which mounted towards the abdomen ; from
