1500-1. Disease of the horizontal branch of the lower jaw, with openings upon the surface, that communicated with the cen- tre of the mass. Removed at the articulation ; and some days afterward the patient died.

Section of the same, showing an encephaloid transfor- mation of the bone, with cavities in the centre.

1502-5. Head, and upper part of the chest of a child, showing numerous, purplish tumors upon the head and face ; con- nected with " fungus hematodes" of the dura mater.

1506. A portion of the cranium, from the temporal region, and showing the effects of a cancerous growth ; a perforation equal td about 1J in. in diameter. A large growth of new bone from the outer surface of the sphenoid, a filling up of the cells of the bone, and a growth of short, bristly, bony fibres to some extent, perpendicular to the surface of the bone, and such as are so often seen in cases of can- cer.

Pain in head began about three years before death, and there was gradually developed an increase of pain, throbbing in the left temple, protrusion of the left eye, with failure of vision, and finally an elastic, pulsating tu- mor in the temple ; her general health being good. Dr. B. punctured the tumor ; subsequently tied the common carotid, and ten days afterward, as the tumor threatened to burst, the other common carotid was tied. This last operation was followed by wakefulness, delirium, coma, hemiplegia, and on the fourth day by death. (No. 1748.)
