HIBERNATION AND ALLIED STATES IN ANIMALS 103 
asylum experience, I have never seen as healthy a 
brain in the post-mortem room. 
Convolutions well marked and sulci deep; grey 
matter abundant; brain substance firm; ventricles free 
from evidence of disease; brain not examined micro- 
scopically. 
THORAX.—Sub-sternal adhesions. Emphysema of 
cellular tissue beneath sternum ; cartilages not ossified. 
HeArT.—Small—weight 3? oz. Pericardial fluid in 
average quantity; blood in great veins, and right 
auricle fluid; walls of right auricle and ventricle un- 
usually thin; valves normal; small post-mortem clot 
in left ventricle; walls of left ventricle hypertrophied ; 
left auricle normal; valves of left side normal. 
Aorta.—Ascending aorta dilated into a fusiform 
aneurism ; capacity about twice that of normal; arterial 
coats not thinner than normal; no evidence of atheroma; 
no pressure effects noticed ; varicose veins on posterior 
walls of the heart; abdominal aorta atheromatous; 
ante-mortem clots in abundance. 
Luneas.—Right: Very adherent at apex; small ad- 
hesions all over surface of lung; apex, a mass of 
tubercle—in fact, tubercles were found scattered through- 
out the whole of the lungs, and in the apex a small 
cavity existed; hypostatic congestion marked. Left: 
In this lung a certain amount of hypostatic congestion 
was apparent, and an occasional tubercle was found, 
otherwise the lung was normal; cord-like adhesions 
of pleura on surface. 
ABDOMEN.—Liver adherent to chest walls and dia- 
phragm; whole capsule torn off in taking out, and 
remained attached to diaphragm and abdominal wall;

anterior surface of right lobe; these furrows were 
about 2 inches in length, centre one distinctly marked ; 
nutmeg condition present.
