TREATMENT OF INJURIES AND DISEASES OF THE HEAD 87 of the skull. By passing a retractor into this slit the hypophysis is seen asa reddish-gray body. The optic chiasm is above the opening. C. A. Elsberg made the scalp incision almost wholly upon the hair-bearing scalp. (Annals of Surgery, 1914, vol. 59, page 455.) This is done byplacing the base of the flap at the median line (Fig. 747). The only advan-tage of this is the cosmetic elimination of the incision in the middle of theforehead. The flap with the base outward has better nourishment. C. H.
