The upper jaw of the animal was fixed in the left side of the belly, forming a semicircular wound of which a point one inch to the left of the umbilicus was the upper boundary, and the lower part of the upper third of the thigh, the lower boundary.

The abdominal and lumbar muscles were divided and turned up, exposing the colon in its passage across the belly.

Several convolutions of the small intestines were also laid bare, as were also the three lowest ribs.

The gluteal muscles were lacerated and torn, the tendons about the trochanter divided, laying the bone bare, and the vastus externus and part of the rectus of the thigh were cut across.

The wound was 19 inches in length and four or five inches in breadth.
