But, although that navicular-bone is exceptionalamong my morbid specimens of the kind, in regard to the absenceof obvious excavation, 1 am not prepared to testify to its being in anormal state; on the contrary, I suspect—for no analysis of theboi^c, still in my possession, has been performed—that its constitution was defective, and that the bone was destitute of naturastrength.

Fig. 726 illustrates a typical case of advanced navicular disease,apart from the complications which commonly ensue as additionalconsequences. The never absent accompanying phenomenon, atrophy of thecoffin-bone, is, however, well marked in this case.
