Autopsy, June 21. — Very large hernia cerebri. On opening the skull : the left hemisphern with 

 its surface destroyed over the anterior third, everywhere through the gray matter, and much of the 

 space throughout almost the whole depth. Right hemisphere; a large deep wound extending ante- 

 riorly nearly to the e.vtreme outer part of the sulcus cruciatus, involving the .second and third con- 

 volutions. Base of the braiu and all the furrows of the upper surface tilled with dense hard blood 

 clots.
