Change of Structure in the human Ovarium . y - 
mixed with hair and an excrefcence of bones. This ftartled 
me very much, as 1 had always been led to believe, that fuch 
appearances were a fort of imperfect conception. The cir- 
cumftances altogether being very lingular, I was led to pay 
confiderable attention to the change in the ovarium. 
The fatty mafs was of a yellowifh white colour, in fome 
places more yellow than in others, was very un&uous to the 
feeling, and confifted of fhortened or feparated particles, not 
having the fame coalefcence which the fat has generally in the 
body. It became very foft when expofed to the heat of a fire, and

make it more tranfparent. When the paper to which it was

confiderable crackling. 
The hair with which the fatty fubftance was mixed grew 
out of the inner furface of the capfule containing it, in fome 
places in folitary hairs, but chiefly in fmall fafciculi, at Mat- 
tered irregular difiances* Befides thefe, there were loofe hairs 
involved in the fatty mafs. The hairs were, fome of them,

hairs of the head, than what are commonly found on the pu-

girl’s head.

veftiges of human teeth. One appeared to be a canine tooth, 
another to be a fmall grinder, two others to be incifors, and there 
was alfo a very imperfect attempt at the formation of another 
tooth. Thefe were not fully formed, the fangs being want-
