At the autopsy a large quantity of dark fluid blood, mixed withcoagula, was found among the intestines. A foetus of about fivemonths growth was seen lying under the arch of the colon, on theleft side, and attached by its umbilical cord to the interior of adark-coloured, round tumour, about the size of an orange, situatedin the left iliac region. In the superior wall of the tumour was alarge, rugged opening, through which the foetus and blood hadescaped. Both ovaries, with the fimbriated extremities of the Fal-lopian tube, were healthy.
