q -6 D?\ Baillie’s Account of a 
artery and dutlus communis choiidochus, amending obliquely 
towards the left- fide. 
i i 
The fpleen was fituated in the right hypochondriac region, 
adhering to the diaphragm in the common way. What was 
very remarkable was, there being three fpleetis, nearly of the 
fize of a pullet’s egg, found adhering to die larger fpleen by 
fhort adhefions, beiides two other flill fmaller fpleens which 
were involved in the epiploon at the great end of the flomach. 
I never faw fo many fmall fpleens in any one fubjeft. The 
pancreas was found on the right-fide behind the flomach, run- 
ning obliquely from the fpleen to the curvature of the duo- 
denum, and had its duel entering in common with the dudlus 
communis choiidochus into the cavity of that intefline. The 
iplenic veffels were paffing along the upper edge of the pan- 
creas to the right-fide, correfponding to the change of fituation 
in the pancreas and fpleen. 
The flomach was fituated on the right-fide, partly hid by 
' the fmall lobe of the liver paffing to the left, and terminating 
in the pylorus, rather on the left fide of the fpine. The duo- 
denum took a mod lingular courfe ; it firfl paffied to the right- 
fide, behind the fmall end of the flomach ; it then turned 
upon itfelf, towards the left -fide ; it afterwards took its proper 
fweep to the right-fide, paffing behind the fuperior mefenteric 
artery and mefaraica major vein. The mefentery began to be 
formed on the right-fide, inflead of the left, as in ordinary 
cafes. The ilium terminated in the great intefline on the left- 
fide, and there was in it a diverticulum of confiderable fize, a 
lufus not unfrequently occurring. The caecum was fituated on 
the left pfoas magnus and iliacus interims mufcles. The 
tranfverfe arch of the colon paffied from the left to the right- 
fide
