Head.

Fem. All the vessels of head loaded with blood, of which a large quantity escaped during the examination. Slight serous infiltration of pia mater: considerable effusion of serum into ventricles.

Male Vessels in the head rather turgid; slight serous infiltration of pia mater on convexities of cerebral hemispheres.

Fem. Internal vessels of head turgid; serous infiltration of pia mater; numerous bloody points everywhere on cut surface of brain; slight pink discolouration of medullary substance, of small extent, in two or three places; slight ecchymosed appearance of pia mater on surface of right posterior lobe opposite lambdoid suture. Substance of brain softened, and accompanied with slight discolouration of a light brown tint, affecting both cortical and medullary substances to the size of a large walnut; coagulated blood as large as a filbert lodged in substance of brain, on superior surface of left posterior lobe under pia mater. The cornea of both eyes destroyed by ulceration; edge of aperture had a sloughy appearance, and a bloody fluid issued.

Chest.

All parts loaded with fat. Indeed, the body generally was excessively fat; and the depth of the adipose structure in the line of incision, from the sternum to the pubes, varied from two to three inches.

Left lung, excepting a small slip in its anterior portion, consolidated and sank in water. Right lung universally adherent, but healthy. Chest badly formed, sternum and ribs projecting considerably, so as to produce the configuration called " pigeon breast." Lungs extensively connected to containing cavity on both sides by old adhesions. In anterior part of right lung, there were three or four large bladders produced by enlargement of air cells. Posterior portion of same lung partially consolidated,and extremely turgid with blood.

turgid; those of pia mater, and in substance of ence

phalon, injected to minutest branches; bloody pores unusually numerous and large on cut surface of brain, substance firm; iij oz. of clear fluid in each lateral ventricle. Fem. A few slight effusions of blood on inner surface of dura mater; vessels of brain turgid; serous infiltration of pia mater; about ij oz. of clear colourless fluid in each lateral ventricle; an ecchymosis, the size of a horse bean, in roof of right lateral ventricle. Much fluid in basis of skull after brain was removed.

Old adhesions of right lung extensive and firm; less extensive, but recent adhesions of left lung: large portions of latter were consolidated, with suppurated cavities in consolidated parts.

Abdomen.

A diseased mass, larger than the fist, occupied the upper part of pelvis: it consisted of several firm fleshy tubercles growing from the uterus. All parts loaded with fat. Body was emaciated, and the viscera entirely free from fat.

Body was emaciated, and the contents of the belly were completely free from fat.

All the organs healthy.

Numerous adhesions of liver to abdominal parieties and to the other viscera.

N.B.-Cellular substance generally anasarcous the muscles shrunk and flabby.

Male Remarkable turgidity of all the blood vessels, especially of those in substance of brain; superior longitudinal sinus filled with a coagulum like a recent clot; its interior, at two or three points, contained a dull reddish brown fluid like pus. About the middle of each hemisphere, a large vein greatly distended, and filled with a firm coagulum, presented some points filled with a similar fluid; other veins of hemispheres filled with firm coagulum. Near vein first mentioned, a considerable ecchymosis of pia mater, with slight serous infiltration. Male Blood-vessels of the head somewhat turgid, slight se rous infiltration of pia mater.

Fem. No deviation from the normal condition of the brain and membranes, excepting congestion of the blood-vessels, both on the exterior and interior.

Fem. Vessels of brain and membranes loaded with blood to their minutest ramifications. Numerous bloody points wherever brain was cut into; a little serous infiltration of pia mater of cerebral hemispheres. Fem. Little if any moisture between dura mater and surface of brain; consequently, membrane closely applied to the parts within. Convolu

and closely connected to cavity of chest by old adhesions. There had been recent inflammation of pleura and right lung. Lung everywhere agglutinated to surface of cavity, and soft yellow lymph effused in several places of pulmonary pleura in some quantity. Substance of lung inflamed, and part of it so far condensed as to sink in water. Mucous membrane of trachea and ramifications dark red, covered by copious thick yellow discharge. A scirrhous tumour, about an inch immediately above the bifurcation of trachea on outside, with a similar formation on the interior, which contracted the tube to the size of a writing-quill. This new production resembled the scirrhus which precedes cancerous ulceration. Two or three absorbent glands found near this swelling were indurated, but not enlarged. Lungs connected to chest by old strong adhesions; mucous membrane of trachea, bronchi, and ramifications, deep livid red throughout; minute branches and aircells loaded with a thin frothy fluid, which issued in great quantity wherever the substance was cut into. Bronchial glands enlarged and indurated, containing several small depositions of yellowish white cheesy mat

ter. A lymphatic gland by the side of trachea inflamed, and contained a deposit of pus, about the size of a large pea.
