Seqitesti^a after Necrosis from Septic Wounds. 279 



"A very considerable portion more came away, but it was so soft 

 and pliable that it would not preserve." 



This specimen shows characters similar to the last. 



G. C. 1157. 



6. 198. Sequestrum formed by a First Phalanx from Septic 

 Osteo-myelitis due to Whitlow. 



It was from a left index finger, and was ' ' removed by operation in 

 a case of paronychia." 



The specimen is partly eroded on the anterior surface, and 

 has a slight crust of new bone upon the back. G. C. 1132.

6. 199. Sequestrum of Lower Jaw due to Septic Osteo- 

 myelitis following" Injury.— Greater portion of the right 

 half of the body of the lower jaw of a boy, and a piece of clay 



pipe stem, to illustrate the above. 



The boy was smoking a cutty pipe. His father in trying to knock 

 it out of his mouth drove the stem into the jaw, where a portion broke off 

 and remained unobserved. Inflammation and suppuration supervened, 

 and eventually the large sequestrum shown became loose. Professor 

 James Miller removed it, and found within it the piece of pipe stem 

 which is now mounted along with it. 



The specimen shows at many places the irregularities 

 associated with the process of separation. G. C. 3187.

6. 200. Sequestrum from the Skull due to Septic Osteo- 

 myelitis following" Fracture (Compound ?). 



The bone shows the mark of a trephine. Both tables are 

 smooth on the inner surface, but the one has been more ex- 

 tensively absorbed than the outer. The margins of both plates 

 are very irregular, and the diploe has been absorbed for 

 some "way between them. F. P. C. 482."^
