    conclusions drawn from it can admit of no dispute. The Memoir likewise contains a variety of cases of volvulus without her- nia, but as many of these have been recent- ly published in works well known in this country, I have referred to the original w^orks, giving only the more prominent fea- tures of the indivi4ual cases. With regard to the Plates, my chief oh-^ ject has been to give accurate copies of the original, and although they are compa- ratively of a small size, I think they will be found to give a very clear and precise idea of the formation of the disease, and of the relative situation of the contiguous parts.
