In a man who haddied of meningitis secondary to otitis, and in whom thelabyrinthine capsule was not eroded, the author found, onmicroscopic sections of the labyrinth, the superior semicircularcanal (a) (Fig. 325) and the ampulla? partly tilled with a bloodyextravasate (b); this surrounded the membranous semicircularcanal, which was also filled with blood (c), while the vestibuleand cochlea were entirely free.

Inanother case of an individual who had suffered from progressiveparalysis for thirteen years, Moos and Steinbriigge found extra-vasates of blood in the cochlea and between the acoustic observed a hemorrhagic inflammation in the semicircularcanals and vestibules of both ears in a boy four years of age,who became totally deaf during the course of tubercular basilarmeningitis. 73Q DISEASES OF THE EAR It remains to be
