A distorted bullet is mounted along with the fragments. 

 A portion of the outer shell of the os calcis has been torn off. 



B. C. XVII. 40. 



3. 370. Old-standing" Gunshot Injury of the Tarsus.— 



Irregular mass of bone, representing a right cuboid and other 

 tarsal bones, now almost unrecognisable — macerated, to show 

 the above. 



The cuboid in front is easily recognisable. Behind it is au 

 irregular mass, apparently to a large extent of new formation. 

 Probably the greater part of the bone behind the cuboid has 

 been newly formed from the periosteum of the os calcis, parts 

 of which can still be recognised. A piece of lead is firmly 

 embedded in the under surface of the new mass. 



B. C. XVII. 60. 



3. 371. Gunshot Fracture of the Sternum. — Piece of bone, 



apparently chiefly of new formation, said to be an exfoliation 

 after a gunshot wound of the sternum. B. C. xvii. 48. 



3. 372. Gunshot Injury of Bone.— Two leaden bullets show- 

 ing the diversity of forms which balls take after hitting a 

 bone ; also a macerated portion of detached bone with an osseous 

 crust upon it. B. C. xvii. 49. 



3. 373. Gunshot Injury of Bone.— Musket balls altered in 

 shape, found in wounds. 



These were extracted from wounds received at Waterloo. 

 They are variously altered in shape by having struck 

 bone. F. P. C. 264.
