It is otherwise with the threevarieties which are figured diagrammaticallyin Figs. 134, 135, 136. All these are, aswill be observed at a glance, merely stages inthe progress of the same accident, which is the true Inversio Uteri of authors, and which differs from the otherand less important variety, in commencing at the fundus. It is quitepossible that the variety represented in Fig. 133 might, as in the othercase, terminate in complete inversion ; but the experience of all goesto show that the ordinary course is—first, one of Depression of theFundus (Fig. 134); second, one of Partial (Fig. 135); and, third, one. Partial inversion. (AfterMatthews Duncan.) Fig. 134. Fig. 135, Fig. 136.
