A small portion of bone adhering to the outer surface of the dura mater, near the longitudinal sinus. 1021. A portion of the pia mater with its vessels ossified; and adhering to the dura mater. 1022. A portion of pia mater with its vessels ossified. 1023. Arteries of the pia mater ossified. 1024. A portion of dura mater having scrofulous excrescences on both its sur- faces, but especially on the external. 1025. Dura mater with a fungous excrescence upon its external surface, and a similar production on its inner surface, with a portion of the brain ad- hering to it. 1026.

Part of the brain of a child which died of hydrocephalus ; showing the septum lucidum stretched, and the two ventricles of the hemispheres so distended as to have made the corpus callosum and the cortical sub- stance of the hemispheres one continued surface ; the falx of the dura mater being absorbed at that part.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0104.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
