The strength, texture, and ap- pearance of the bones were perfectly healthy ; there was no limping gait observed in the patients affected with it; nor any history of accident, rickets, or malacosteon. Examples. — Naegele collected, with incre- dible industry, notes of thirty-five examples of this disease in female pelves, and two in male pelves. Of these, two (one male and the other female) were in the collection of Pro- fessor Montgomery, of Dublin, and the others in the various collections of France, Germany, and Italy. In one case, which was observed during life by the author himself, he observed a slight halt in the gait of the patient, who otherwise was apparently well-built, healthy, and active. In her first labour, at the age of eighteen years, the foetal head in the early stage was found placed very high, and easily moveable, and the sacral promontory could not be reached by the finger. The patient was delivered, on the third day, with extreme difficulty by the aid of the forceps, and died fifteen days afterwards from puerperal fever. The pelvis was found affected with the oblique deformity, but in strength, weight, and texture perfectly healthy (Jig. 123.). The sacrum was 201 in. Pelvis oblique ovata. (After Naegele.) composed of four pieces only, and measured in length 2 inches 11 lines. The coccyx had six pieces, and measured 1 inch The left sacro-iliac joint was ankylosed, and the same side of the sacrum was shrunk and con- tracted, so as to measure from the sacral pro- montory to the usual position of the sacro- iliac joint, only 1 inch 4 lines ; whereas the same measurement on th
