    the parietal bones are pushed very markedly outwards to either side, and end in prominent processes which project laterally considerably further than any other portion of the skull The squamous portion of the temporal bone is considerably curtailed, and the anterior margin of the bony cana] of the external auditory meatus is in great part wanting. The tympanic membrane is very large, and is nearly on a level with the surface of the bone. At the point of junction of the parietal temporal and occipital bones there is a small space closed in by a membrane. The bones of the face, like those of the skull, are very much flattened from above downwards and the face consequently elongated from before backwards, the nose being nearly horizontal. In respect to the size of the cranial cavity, the following measurements may be taken: From the abnor- mal aperture to the posterior clinoid processes, 1 inch; from the deepest portion of the skull, t.e,, the margin of the foramen magnum, to the sagittal suture, inch. The arch of the atlas is deficient posteriorly for a quarter of an inch. The vertebrae are otherwise normal. 80. Dried sternum and costal cartilages, showing a bilateral projection or process from the fourth costal cartilage on either side. Also shows the mode in which true bone coats the costal cartilage, by plates spreading from the ribs and bony sternum, while the centre of the costal cartilage merely calcifies. 81. Exostosis from orbit. Case under care of Dr. M'Donald of North Uist. Bequeathed ly Dr. Deicar. 82. Fracture of neck of femur. 83. Anchylosis of tibia and fibula at lower end, probably after fracture. Bequeathed hy Dr. D. Deioar xoithout any history. 84. Central necrosis of humerus, case of new bone. Dr. Deioar. 85. Necrosed shaft of long bone. Dr. Dewar. 86. Necrosed head of humerus. Dr. Dewar. 87. Injected calvarium. 88. Fragment of skull cap, removed by Dr. H. C. Cameron from head of a Cumberland boy who had been struck by a falling plank. The fragment was removed several weeks after the injury. 89. Skull showing perforation by pacchionian bodies. 90. Skull showing depressions by pacchionian bodies. 91 Ditto. 92. Ditto. 93. Bone from old amputation thigh stump in a boy, showing how the end of the bone is occluded by new bone, Part of the end plate has been broken off.
