    indicates that the effusion beneath the dura mater must have existed for many days before the symp- toms became apparent. It may not be easy to assign a reason for their development at the time when they did eventually come on, but the absence •f of symptoms in some cases of haemorrhage into the cavity of the arachnoid in infants, or their tardy supervention long after the blood has been poured out, proves satisfactorily that this feature in the present case, though not explicable, is at least ac- cordant with analogy.
