Of the nerves which supply the muscle fibers and of the nerve terminationsnothing could be seen; the interstitial tissue, and especially the nuclei were increased. The remarkable point of this case consists in the total destruction of the cord fromthe 9th dorsal segment downw^ard without demonstrable compression. The autopsyshowed that the 11th thoracic vertebral body was compressed into a wedge shape, butit only protruded 2 mm. into
