318 Diseases of Bone. 



6. 292. Syphilitic Enlarg-ement of the Ulna.— Shaft and 

 upper end of a left ulna — macerated, illustrating the above. 



The shaft is irregularly thickened from below upwards by 

 periosteal formation, and its surface is nodular and ["porous. 

 The disease has extended between the two sigmoid cavities of 

 the upper articular surface. B. C. i. 5. M. 95. 



6. 293. Syphilitic Enlargrement of Radius and Ulna.— 



Right radius and ulna (head wanting) — illustrating the above. 



The Haddington Parish Church, or " The Lamp of Lothian," 

 as it was formerly called, was originally built in the eleventh 

 century. In 1423 a new floor was laid down, and other 

 alterations were made, and it is recorded that there were fifteen 

 altars in the church placed near the bases of the eight pillars, 

 of which four run along each side. In 1811 a wooden floor 

 was put in, galleries erected, and the church reseated. In 

 1891 the church was renovated, and among other alterations 

 a concrete floor was laid down. In preparing the ground 

 for the cement, about eighteen inches of a loose sandy soil 

 was taken away from below the former wooden floor, and it 

 Avas in this soil that the bones were found. There was no trace 

 of coffins of any kind ; most of the bones lay near the pillars, 

 and therefore near where the altars formerly stood. 



Although the interior of the church is known to have been used 

 occasionally for burial purposes up to the end of the eighteenth century, 

 it seems probable that the bones found round the pillars had been 

 interred there before 1423, and therefore are not unlikely to have been 

 those of monks. 



These bones formed part of the only complete skeleton 

 found. The shaft of the ulna, as in the two former specimens, 

 is gradually thickened from the lower end upwards, and the 

 surface, although uneven, is comparatively smooth, as if the 

 disease had been long quiescent. 



The shaft of the radius is thickened, chiefly about the 

 middle. Its surface resembles that of the ulna. The lower
