C.\SE VI.—This case is an anatomical report of a very remarkable kidney whichwas encountered in the Anatomical Laboratory of the Washington UniversityMedical School, and it is through the kindness of Dr. Robert Terry, Professor ofAnatomy, and Mr. L. L. Robertson, one of the students who found it during thedissection of a subject, that I have the privilege of presenting this interestingkidney condition. 70.

SURGERY OF THE ECTOPIC KIDNEY The kidney was centrally located, down in the pelvis below the was complete fusion of the two poles, the left section being larger than theright. The measurements of this fused organ were cm. in length, llY} width, and 3 cm. in thickness. The point of union between the two kidneys wascomposed of kidney tissue as is usually the case. The pelves were deficient andlacked their usual support of envelop
