The cellular tissue of the headof the bone had been penetrated both above and below by the compactstructure of the cervix, the intervening space being filled up by aprojecting portion of the broken surface of the superior fragment. Itwas here that the process of osseous union had made most progress, butit could not be said to be perfect even here. From the appearance pre-sented in this specimen it is manifest that the injury was of compara-tively recent occurrence, and I entertain no doubt but that the casewould have terminated in perfect osseous union, had life continued for afew months longer.—April 27,
