    111. The lower part of a femur, much thickened, and having impressions of blood-vessels on its surface, similar to the preceding specimens. 112. A femur considerably thickened at its lower end. It is much curved, and convex anteriorly. 113. A femur, the lower part of which has been in an inflamed state, and is par- tially thickened and incrusted by ossific matter. 114. The lower end of a femur, very considerably thickened by the deposition of bony matter on its surface. [The section shows the proportion of the bony addition.] 115. A tibia thickened by ossific inflammation. [This specimen is somewhat curved, and is remarkably heavy.] 116. A right tibia, which is thickened; and appears, from the numerous per- forations of blood-vessels, to have been in a state of high inflammation. 117. The left tibia, from the same individual, similarly diseased. 118. A tibia thickened at its middle; with a very irregular surface. 119. A portion of a tibia considerably thickened; with cribriform perforations by the superficial blood-vessels. 120. A tibia and fibula in a similar state. 121. A tibia and fibula similarly diseased, but in a greater degree. 122. A fibula thickened towards its lower part. 123. A fibula thickened, and the surface next the tibia very irregular. 124. A similar specimen, but with a greater degree of thickening. 125. A fibula, ^hich is thickened towards its middle, in consequence of the ossific inflammation. 126. A fibula thickened; and with an extremely irregular surface. 127* The right humerus of a young ostrich, thickened and distorted. 128. The left humerus of the same bird, aflfected in a greater degree. 129. The right humerus of a young ostrich, similarly affected, but in a still greater degree. 130. Two of the carpal bones of a large bird, [probably an eagle,] in a similar state. 131. A young branch of a fir, which from accidental injury is under circum- stances similar to thickening of bone in consequence of inflammation. c 2
