751. Bifid uterus, and double vagina.

From a woman fifty-seven years of age, who had had three children ; the labors being always severe. Catamenia ceased at the age of forty. Nothing known of the malfor- mation until the woman's death, unless to herself; not even to her husband.

The two coruua are symmetrical, about the size of the fore- finger, and 1 J in. in length ; terminating in the Fall, tubes, which, with the two ovaries, are normal. Cavity of the cervix single. The vagina is divided, throughout, by a longitudinal septum, into two cavities of about equal size ; there being an opening, however, from the upper extremity upon the right side through into the os or the cervix upon the left side. A small os uteri is seen upon each side. 1865. Dr. A. B. Hoyt, of N. H.

752-4. Two oil-paintings, by Mr. P., showing the external and internal appearances of a uterus, the cavity of which was equally divided by a septum that extended from the fundus to the os. No appearance of division externally.

From a girl, about twenty-five years old. Pencil draw-
