    this operation was performed by Mr. Teale, of the Leeds General Infirmary, in March last, has been reported in the Twenty-fifth number of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal. The case terminated fatally on the seventh day after the operation, by perforation of the caecum. I have attached this note to express my regret that the report to which I re- fer, had previously escaped my observation. The fact however shews how liable we are to overlook such cases, when published in the Journals singly. A. J, July 6, 1842.
