A text-book of veterinary obstetrics : including the diseases and accidents incidental to pregnancy, parturition and early age in the domesticated animals . SIOX OF THE UTKltUS. 313 abdomen ; and at other times, making a wider rotation, it is lodged inthe opposit*! flank. There are scarcely any moans in practice by wiiich we can estimate,with mathematical exactness, tlie degree of torsion the uterus hasundergone ; as what we have designated a quarter-turn or revolutiononly signifies that the organ has made a rotation of 90°, while thehalf-turn is scarcely ISO . Nevertheless, an approximation is all thatcan be looked for, and, indeed, is all that is necessary. As we have already mentioned, Mazure, in 1H42, had a case of com-plete rotation of the uterus on its axis; this was remedied by causingthe organ to turn completely round in the opposite direction. Otherwriters have spoken of a complete rotation in some cases, but it may besurmised that it was only a half-turn. Double, treble, and even quad-ruple twists have been described ; because there have been found two,three, or more spiral ridges or doubles close together, hard, and Fig. .

But these multiple plies are onlywhat a somewhat long and supple cylinder makes when it is twisted. To account for these multiple plic<r, which have erroneously beentaken for so many complete turns of the uterus, we have only to acceptthe illustration offered us by Delafond, who, comparing that organ to along stocking, puts a weight in the foot of the latter, and gives it a turnin the middle, keeping the open or upper end fixed. Or a small body,to represent the faHus, may be enclosed in the middle of a handker-chief—the utems—so as to make a sac. If the end containing thebody be turned or twisted on itse
