Obstetrics : the science and the art . ch filled the whole womb,and was moulded by its cavity.

Breschet gaveto this liquor the denomination of hydro-perione ; of course, suchhvdro-pcrione must be removed in the process of reflection and ulti-mate fusion of the deeidua reflexa and deeidua vera. AVe shall find,further on, other opinions on this subject. Such arc the Ilunterian views of the deeidua; r/</<?/., it is an excre-tion from the womb to answer a temporary purpose, after the effec-tuation of which it falls away, and is discharged.

I presume no anatomist can befound at the present day to deny the existence of a mucous body ofsome sort as composing the tissue of the inner paries of the organ. M. Costes Atlas, already cited, contains several beautiful engrav-ings, representing magnified views of this texture, and among themone which exhibits the appearance of a piece cut from the substanceof the womb, on which is seen the inner lining membrane. I regretthat it was not possible for me to give copies of those drawings. , however, has been very successful in copying the one annexed,which represents a magnified piece cut from the uterus. The r
