    21. A humerus, in which there has been a fracture of the neck, with flattening and displacement of the head. 22. A humerus, having a similar fracture and displacement of the upper part; and another fracture below its middle. 23. A humerus, the head of which has been depressed, in consequence of a frac- ture at, and below, the neck of the bone. 24. A humerus, which appears to have been fractured at its neck. A bony pro- cess projects from the united part. 25. A humerus, which had been fractured near its middle, united. 26. A similar specimen, in which a large splinter has been detached and displaced, but now firmly united, apparently with its medullary canal outwards. 27. A humerus, which had been fractured near its lower extremity. The broken ends have been very well set, and firmly united, most probably in conse- quence of the fracture being very simple. 28. An os humeri which had been fractured in two places near the elbow, either at the same, or at different times. The three portions of the bone take different directions, but are firmly united, and with little deformity. [In Nos. 27 and 28 a depression, denoting the former situation of the medullary cavity, is apparent in the anterior part of the lower portion of each bone.] 29. A radius, which had been fractured near its middle, united. 30. A similar specimen. 31. The bones of a fore-arm, in which the radius has been fractured near the wrist; where, as is usual in such cases, it has caused distortion. 32. The os humeri of a turkey, which has been much splintered; but is united, with great deformity. 33. The os humeri of a turkey, which has been fractured. The broken extre- mities of the bone were about an inch distant from each other, probably in consequence of the drooping of the wing. They are now firmly united by a dense extended callus. 34. An os humeri of a bird, [apparently the domestic fowl,] which has been fractured, and is united in much the same manner as the preceding spe- cimen, but with greater contraction or shortening. 35. The pelvis of a [quadruped, apparently a fallow deer,] which has been B 2
