Obstetrics : the science and the art . erwall of the pelvis there,it is evident that tooshort a wing will causethe change of formabove mentioned, anddetermine the exist-ence of the obliqueovate deformity. Ishould think this tooevident to require anyfurther illustrationthan that of the sub-joined Fig. 10, which isa camera-lucida draw-ing from an oblique ovate pelvis in my museum at Jefferson College. The left wing is seento be the contracted or faulty one, whose shortness has caused the sym-physis pubis to be placed awry, or far over to the right. The fault isconnected with a bony anchylosis of the left sacro-iliac synchondrosis—a circumstance common in these oblique ovate deformities. Great attention has, of late years, been paid to the influence of thesacrum in producing horizontal deviations of form in the pelvis, andour modern information on the subject is principally due to the careof the late eminent Prof. Naegele, of Heidelberg, in giving to us hiswork Das Schraag Verrngtes Beckens. Dr. E. Gurlt, also, in his Ueber. 4^ THE PELVIS. Einige durch Erkranhang der Gelenlcsverbindungen Yerursaclite Misstal-n des Menschlichen Bechens, furnishes us with copious notices ofwhat has been done for our science in this particular up to a late it is to Dr. Anton. F. Ilohl, in his Zur Pathologie des Becl-ens,4to., 1852, that we are indebted for the fullest and clearest accounts ofthe matter of oblique oval deformations. Prof. Rokitanskys 3d vol.,Manual of Path. Anat., p. 250, furnishes that teachers views of thedeformity, which he attributes, in some cases, to congenital, and in thosethat occur after birth, to rachitic causes; as does also Scanzoni, p. 149,Lelrrbuch der Geburtshilfe, 11 Band. For the present it may suffice forthe student to reflect that faults in the wings of the sacrum cannot butbring about great faults of form in the female pelvis—the nature ofwhich he will, from the foregoing, readily comprehend. I beg the student to examine the ten holes cal
