Extract

Whilst examining the heart in the body of one of the male subjects undergoing dissection in my practical rooms, in the early part of this session, the large size and fenestrated condition of the Eustachian valve attracted my attention. When the heart was removed from the body, and the auricle submitted to a more careful scrutiny, I observed that a valve was situated at the mouth of the superior vena cava.

page 455 note * Since the specimen was shown to the Society I have recognised in two hearts, which have come under my notice in my dissecting room, a similar fibrous cord, extending from the Eustachian valve along the right posterior wall of the auricle, almost as far as the orifice of the superior cava, but no valve existed at the mouth of the superior cava.
