$1303. Elbow-joint, exhibiting ulceration of the cartilage, and partial membranous ankylosis. The bone appears sound. Amputated by Mr. Morgan. 130325. Bones of elbow-joint, exhibiting chronic rheumatic arthritis. The edges of the bones are fringed with new osseous ex- crescences, by which they are enlarged and much altered in shape. The inner articular surface of the humerus is diminished in size, while the external one is enlarged and flattened. The head of the radius, in like manner, is broader and larger, from a deposition of new bone upon it. The cartilages have been destroyed in many places, and the articular surfaces eburnated. 130330. A similar specimen, in which the ends of the bones are enlarged by a deposit of osseous matter on their edges resulting from chronic rheumatic arthritis. The articular surface of the outer condyle is seen to be eburnated and polished. ] 30350. Ends of radius and ulna which have been involved in disease of the elbow-joint; a quantity of flocculent membrane is surrounding them, the cartilages are destroyed, and at the end of the ulna is a large cavity formed by the removal of necrosed bone. The following six specimens show perfect bong ankylosis or synostosis of the elbow-joint. 1304. Bones of arm, showing perfect osseous union between ulna and humerus, which meet at a right angle. 130415. Firm bony ankylosis of the elbow-joint, the bones meeting at a very obtuse angle. The disease has probably been secondary to a fracture; for a deep fissure at the upper part of the ulna, looks as if its head had been broken by an oblique fracture. 130425. Firm bony union between ulna and radius at a right angle. It appears to have originated from a fracture of the$
