TTTE mean by this cases in which the place in the broad ligaments nor- mally occupied by the uterus is filled by rudimentary structures,which have not gone on to develop into the normal organ. These re-mains vary in size and shape, according to the extent and grade of theinjury, and the stage of development at which it makes itself felt. Be-sides this, the rudimentary structures do increase in size after the injuri-ous influence has commenced to act. In the highest grade of the deformity, which approaches completedefect of the uterus, and is often mistaken for it, the organ may be only.

(After Veii.) indicated by a thickening of the posterior vesical, wall. This is well seenin Veits case. Or the badly developed broad ligaments themselves maybe thickened in places by uterine elements, connective tissue and smoothmuscular fibres. This was seen in the case of Langenbeck, of which wegive a sketch. In other cases the rudiment is more fully formed and appears as asmooth band, continuous above with the tubes, and below with the roundligaments. Nega has described such a case. The ovaries were very large and long, but no Graafian vesicles couldbe found. The vagina was replaced by connective tissue.
