The patient sleeps welland goes out of doors. 28th.—The granulating surface upon the forehead has steadily di-minished in size, and now measures half an inch in width and twoinches in length.

Theystill retained their flattened, conical shape. The operationwas as follows:—A curved incision was carried half around thebase of each prominence an its broadest side, and the prominence it-self raised from its underlying surface, split across, and then unfold-ed and spread out flat. The redundant portion was then pared away,and the opposite edges matched together and secured by redundant extremity of the patch of skin brought down fromthe forehead and left projecting beyond the apex of the nose, wastrimmed away at the proper time, and adapted itself very exactlyto its new location. Fig. 3, showing the final result, is from a photograph, taken Oct.
