33 * Dr. Baillie’s Account of a 
I have been at the pains to confult many authors upon tins 
fubjedt, but with very little fatisfadlion. I (hall not enter into 
a detail of what I have met with in the courfe of thele re- 
fearches, but (hall briefly notice, that when any lufus of this 
fort is mentioned, it is commonly in a (ingle fen fence or two, 
and the tranfpofition is not marked as univerlal, or it is a 
change in the fituation of fome vi-feus from difeafe. In fhort, 
I have only found this Angular lufus naturae deferibed by Cat- 
tierius, M. Mery, and M. Daubenton ; but by none of 
them is it fufficiently particular. Enough has been laid to 
point out that they had exadtly met with the fame fort of mou- 
lt rod ty ; but many circumftances have been emitted, which I 
hope will be fupplied by the prefent account, which I proceed 
immediately to lay before the Society. 
The perfon who is the fubjedt of this Paper was a male, 
near forty years of age, fomewhat above the middle ft at u re, 
and of a clean adtive (la ape. He was brought for difledtion in 
the common way to Windmill-flreet. Upon opening the 
cavity of the thorax and abdomen, the different fituation of the 
vifeera was fo (hiking as immediately to excite the attention of 
the pupils who were engaged in difledting it; and Mr. Cruik- 
shank, as well as myfelf, were very foon informed of the An- 
gularity. We were much furprized as well as pleafed with 
the appearance, and I began immediately to examine every 
part of the change with considerable attention : for this pur- 
pofe, after defiring a drawing to be made of the appearances 
ns they were found upon opening the body, I next day in- 
jected it. The repeated di (fed! ions have furnilhed various 
views, which are rep refen ted faithfully by drawings, and 
which I hope will enable me to give a tolerably diftindt ac- 
count of this Angular lufus naturae. I (hall not enter in my 
defeription into unneceflfary minutiae : this would render the
