which was of d faint ycowish tint, was that

the pupils slightly and equally diated; the

OF 1f,an transverse ran. fracture of the lenses. A
small, white scar. directed obliuu " down.

TO the scalp, was observed midway between
the top OF the lett ear and the median line of
the head.
Inc right parietal bone was slightly f1attened
over space about TWO inches SQUARE lust

rSht OF the inter parietal there was a slight
haGtened elevation on the corresponding inter
nal surface of the cavaria. The frontal suture
was obliterated, the others quite distinct A

THE FlSSURES.
Inc assures generally presented consdera-

sure OF Rolando, amounting to seven-eghths
II an inch. The right assure of Sylvius was
ypcal; the LETT WIS separated from the first
emporal tIssure by Il slight bridge, deeply
situated. The right assure of Eolatldo did not
'@nnect with the tisslre of SyIyius; the left
vas separated only by small bridge deeply
ltuated; both We're separated fr IN the longi-
udinal assure. The first frontal tissure on the
1ght SIDE was not connected with that of Ro-
ando, but the posterior part was crossed bya
assure; the same on the lett side.
Except that the assure WAS crossed by small
fridge near its center. The second and third
rontal assures presented nothing remarkable.

The usual median incision was made and the
'domen opened. There was extravasation of
