    SECTION XV. CASES OF IMPERFORATE ANUS, CASE I[* In the month of April, 1769, an infant, five days old, was brought to me from the parish of Sens, in the bishoprick of Rennes, who evacuated the meconium by the penis; and, having no anus, the rectum evidently terminated in the bladder. I saw the im- portance of the complaint, and the danger of the infant, who had been vomiting three or four days, and the abdomen was tense. * This case is translated from M. Bertin’s Memoir in the Academy of Sciences,
