    more than an inch from the stump. One third of this was completely uncovered ; immediately above which a thickish ring of callus had formed and extended about an inch upwards. Almost the whole thickness of the bone appears to be detach- ing as a sequestrum. Died 30th day.—Visando, set. 18. 31.S. Catalogue, page 141. Appendix, page 146. A. 89. Preparation of a femur which was amputated at its lower third for gun-shot fracture of the tibia. Nearly the whole of the shaft of the bone, from an inch below the trochanter minor down to the extremity, a length of 8 inches, is enveloped in a rough and irregular sheath of callus, thick- ening towards the lower extremity. At this end may be ob- served the circular extremity sawn across, scarcely altered. Died on the ]22d day.—Cooper, set. 23. 31.8. Catalogue, page 146. Appendix, page 129. A. 90. An irregularly cylindrical shell of bone, upwards of 4 inches in length, which came away on the 152d day after primary amputation. The lower end is formed by the sawn extremity of the femur, unaltered in figure and texture. Ac- tive absorption of the remainder is evident within and with- out in the rough and elaborately worked surface of the bone, which resembles more a Chinese ornament than a pathologi- cal production.—Smith, set. 21. 31.8. Catalogue, page 147. Appendix, page 131. EXFOLIATIONS, FRAGMENTS, EXOSTOSES, &c. A. 91. Piece of lead and portion of bono removed five months after receiving a gun-shot wound which fractured the inferior maxilla, lacerating the tongue and sublingual and submaxillary arteries. The man recovered.—Ellington, set. 28. 3f.8. Catalogue, page 153. Appendix, page 148.
