4, 5. The Labia opened and turned back, to shew the Entrance into the Vagina; the Labium on the left Side is of a natural Bigness for the Size of the Woman; but the other Labium is very large, in which is contained a hard Substance, surrounded with something soft to the touch, and which may be traced as coming down from the _Inguen_. This Tumour, in my Opinion, is the real _Ovarium_ or Testicle of that Side prolapsed, and fallen down from it’s natural Place within the Abdomen, thro’ the Fissure in the Muscles belonging to the last mentioned Part, into this Labium where it is lodged, covered with an Elongation in Form of a Bag or Sacculus from the _Peritonæum_, in which it lies enclosed together with the _Tuba Falloppii_, the _Ligamentum uteri latum_, and the Ligament that goes from the Testicle to the _Uterus_, in the very same Manner that the common _Hernia_’s, whether of the Intestinum, the Omentum, or both, are produced in Women. My Reasons for this Conjecture (which was long ago simply proposed by Professor[119] _Diemerbroeck_, but without any Manner of Proof to support it) shall be given in a general Treatise of _Hernia_’s, which I have very near finished, and, I hope, will be published in a short Time; the Ovaria, or _Testiculi Mulierum_, being in the Number of those Parts that fall down from their natural Situation, and constitute that Disorder we call a Hernia or Rupture. In my Collection of the morbid uterine Parts, I have two Preparations where the Ovaria and Extremities of the Tubæ Falloppianæ lie exactly on that Part of the Peritonæum, under which the _Ligamenta uteri teretia seu rotunda_ do pass out from within the Abdomen; and the _Fundus Uteri_, instead of lying backwards on the _Intestinum rectum_ and _os Sacrum_, is turned forwards, and lies on the Os Pubis and Vesica. This, I own, is only a conjectural Proof for the present, a real one cannot be offered till the Part itself, where the Tumour is, can be examined by ocular Inspection. The Tumour marked 2, I take to be the Ovarium on the other Side, just clear of the abdominal Muscles, but not come low enough for the Labium, but will no doubt in Time, if not prevented by some outward Compression. I am informed, that the other Tumour came down gradually. 6, 7. The slender _Alæ_ or _Pterygia vaginæ_, improperly called _Nymphæ_. On the upper Part of these cuticular Foldings, the _Frenulum_ 6, is observed to be lost, that comes obliquely downwards from the under Side of the _Glans_. 8. The Orificium, or Entrance into the Vagina, with a smooth whitish Skin on the Inside of the Labia. 9. The Furcula Vaginæ. 10. The large and broad Perinæum, or Distance between the Furca and the Anus. The second and third Figures represent the external Parts, as they appeared in a Girl shewed about Town for an Hermaphrodite, of which I gave an Account that was read at a Meeting of the Royal Society, _Feb. 17, 1714_. FIG. II. Shews these Parts in a natural Situation.
