M. 85. *June, weather very hot; examination 28 hours p.m. Hydrothorax from pleuritis; the chest twice tapped.—The arteries entirely free from deposit; the lining membrane of the thoracic aorta of a bright red; this redness was confined to the serous membrane, as the fibrous coat was seen of its natural colour when the inner tunics were removed; - the colour was not altered by washing; the lining membrane of the abdominal aorta of a natural appearance. 86. M. 53. *June, weather very hot; examination 18 hours p.m. Melena; hypertrophy of the left ventricle, and diseased spleen——The ascending aorta slightly dilated; the colour of the lining membrane natural ; numerous cartilaginous and atheromatous elevations in the thoracic and abdominal aorta, these were interspersed with a great number of concave bony plates; several melanotic spots were also present in the abdominal aorta, one as large as a pea; the matter presented the same appearance as in Cases 68 and 84.

A few small atheromatous patches in the ascending aorta, and some in the abdominal, but the arteries, considering the age, were remarkably healthy ; the brachial artery contained numerous small semicircular bony deposits under the serous lining ; none of this deposit was present in the aorta. 90. M. 78. Fracture of the clavicle and other injuries from a coach-wheel passing over the chest.—The thoracic and abdo- minal aorta contained several atheromatous deposits ; a small spot of the linmg membrane was abraded in the descending thoracic, and a small patch of bone was seated near the bifur- cation of the abdominal. | 9].
