Dislocation of the occipital Ijonc from the atlas has been reconleii only in one or two cases; but dislocation of the atlas from the epi- stropheus, with rupture of the transverse llRament of the atlas, is much more conmion: it is the mode in which death is produced in many cases of execution by hanging. From this it appears that rupture of the transverse ligament is a fairly ordinary procedure, especially in cases of death due to judicial hanging.
