upwards by the growth of the other parts, a greater 
portion of the tubes will adhere to. the furface of the 
womb, and thus the apparent place of infertion be 
very far diftant from the real one. This remark is 
verified in the prefent inftance j for the tube at fir ft: 
light appears to penetrate into the middle of the 
uterus ; but, upon a clofer infpe&ion, and by intro- 
ducing a briftle, it is found to run for a considerable 
fpace between it and the coat, which it receives 
from the peritoneum, and at length to enter into its- 
cavity not very far from the fpot which it may be 
fuppofed to have occupied before impregnation. 
With regard to fuperfcetation, it is evident how 
eafily it might have been effected in the prefent fub- 
jedt ; and the fuppofition of a double uterus can 
readily account for it on many other occafions. But 
this is a matter on which it would be needlefs to 
dwell any longer, as it has been very fully treated in 
gravel’s DilTertation, publifhed in haller’s 
ColledHon; where we meet with a fimilar inftance 
of two uteri and a vagina, the anterior part of which 
was divided by a feptum j but whofe pofterior portion 
was fingle, where the feptum was difcontinued. 
haller, in his Opufcula Pathologica , gives the 
hiftory of a young lady of quality who had two. 
wombs, each of an oval fhape, and furnifhed with 
its own peculiar vagina. One of thefe vaginae was 
anterior, and communicated with the right womb ; 
the other was pofterior, and led to the left. And 
it is worth obferving, that in thefe two cafes, and in 
tnoft ethers of the fame kind, which have been 
hitherto obferved, each uterus had only one ovarium: 
and one tube.
