3. 299. Ununited Fracture of the Shaft, with Compen- 

 sating" Hypertrophy of the Fibula. — Plaster cast of the 

 bones of a right leg, showing the above. 



The original is in the Barclay Collection, and shows the 

 smoothing of the broken ends of the tibia. The fragments 

 are set at an angle backwards ; the fibula, although much 

 thickened, is bent in a similar direction. Another copy 

 of the same specimen has been placed in the General Pathology 

 Series, to illustrate Compensating Hypertrophy.
