thence the beginning of the duodenum made another 
turn, to defcend into the hernial bag; immediately 
below which, viz. juft within the opening of the 
hernial bag, the dudlus communis choledochus entered 
it; and feemed the caufe which kept it from falling 
further into the fac. From this, the remainder of the 
duodenum, and all the other inteftines, were entirely 
contained in the hernial bag, to nigh the extremity of 
the colon, before-mentioned. The duodenum, after 
entering the fac, firft ran a little downwards, and 
backwards, then horizontally, and laftly upwards, to 
within the edge of the fac, towards the abdomen ; 
from thence the tegumen proceeded backwards and 
downwards, and then formed, with the ileum, pretty 
nigh their ufual convolutions, about the middle of the 
tumor, as they fhould have done in the abdomen. 
The caecum had a very fmall appendix, but was itfelf 
very large ; as was the colon through its whole length, 
while contained in the fac ; that part of it, which 
returned into the pelvis again, being much fmaller, 
even only cf the dimenfions of the fmaller inteftines : 
the length of the colon too feemed more than ufual. 
The caecum began in the lower part of the bag, and 
from thence the colon kept pretty nigh the courfe it 
fhould have kept, if the bag had been the abdomen, 
for a great part of its length; running up, from the 
caecum, along the right fide of the bag, to nigh the 
pubis, and then crofting over towards the left fide, 
before the duodenum, to the left edge of the hernial 
•aperture; at which place, flipping behind the lower 
extremity of the ftomacb, it appeared in the pelvis, 
crofting over to its left fide; from thence to follow 
the courfe before deferibed. The pancreas lay in a
