The higher this commissure readies, the more docs the wombapproach to the normal type. In the figure there are two vagina?, twoorifices, and two uterine cavities. In the case shown in Fig. 37, there is but one vagina. The os alsois single, as is the cavity of the cervix, the bifurcation commencing Fig. 36. Fia. 37. ^^^3.

The angle at which the cornua unite varies indifferent cases—which is accounted for, as is pointed out by Rokitansky,by the height at which the uniting commissure is situated. Group 4. In this, the external form of the uterus differs hut littlefrom the normal character. The breadth of the organ is greater, es-pecially at the fundus, where a depression in the middle line indicatesthe situation internally of a vertical septum, Avhich more or less com-pletely divides the uterine cavity into two halves, and constitutes theuterus bilocularis. The extent of this septum may vary from a mereridge to a complete partition, which may even invade the vagina. These several deviations from the normal form of the uterus willinfluence more or less the function of the organ. Menstruation may,it is true, in a large proportion of cases, be sca
