    thickened on its posterior aspect, and the inner side of the fibula presents numerous projections of new bone. The case was one in wliich twenty years previously the os calcis had been removed for caries, and two years after- wards tlie great toe for the same disease. The patient continued apparently Avell until eight months before ad- mission, when an abscess formed on the dorsum of the foot. Amputation was performed, and the patient was dismissed v/ell in about two months. 62. Bony tumour of upper end of tibia. 63. Irregular production of new bone in the bones of the tarsus. 64. Caries of the head of the humerus. The portion of bone pre- served was excised, and the patient made a good recovery, and was dismissed with a useful arm. 65. United fracture of humerus. 66. Disease of the elbow joint. 67. Caries of the clavicle. 68. Skull from graveyard of Cathedral. 69. Necrosed shaft of tibia. 70. Abnormal Calvarium. 71. Bones of hip, ossifying sections separated. 72. Erosion of external table of skull. 73. Skull, nasal bones driven to one side. 74. Caries of tibia, production of new bone. 75.] 76. vCaries of knee-joint. 77. > _ _ 78. Syphilitic ulceration of the tibia. In addition to the ulcera- tion which is in the form of a deep excavation on the inner surface of the tibia there is marked hypertrophy of the rest of the bone. The tibia is further auchylosed to the fibula and to the astragalus. The preparation is a good illustra- tion of the hypertrophy of healthy bone in the neighbour- hood of diseased parts; the leg was amputated and the patient was dismissed well. 79. A skeleton with symmetrical exostoses. They affect chiefly the long bones of the extremities, and in these bones have the following general distribution ; the upper end of the humerus, and the lower end of the radius and ulna; the lower end of the femur; both lower and upper ends of the tibia and fibula, but much more developed at the upper. In addition, there are on both scapula two exostoses, but these are much larger on the left scapula than the right. They arise at corresponding points on tlie ventral and dorsal aspects of the sca]Hila, about an inch and a-half from the inferior angle. Presented bij Di: RoVert Hunter.
