Various substances may be injected; or the hydrocele is incised, the tunica partly removed and the cavity drained.

The peritoneum of hydrocele and hernial sacs and of the omentum readily lends itself to transplantation.

In a second paper, in the next number of this volume, he gives an original and successful operation for hydrocele.
