This recordindicates the exact position of the condyles at the commencementof the operation. When the treatment is finished a careful examina-tion of the position of the condyles, when occupying their normalposition in the fossae, will unquestionably reveal what anatomicalchanges have taken place. I have found in all cases, where therewas no displacement of the anchorage, and the occlusal planeremained unchanged, that the antero-posterior position of the con-dyles in their relation to the glenoid fossce remained stationary, but ORIGINAL COMMUXICA TIONS. 869 invariably their infero-superior position was slightly above that indi-cated by the record. The latter position could not be determinedso accurately as the former. Backward pressure, applied at the
