42 ABNORMAL CONDITIONS OF THE AXIS. 



are arrested also. Several other Lion-cubs born in the 

 Gardens have been similarly affected. Purchased. 



153. The skull of a new-born Calf with a cleft between the max- 



illary bones, and defect of the palate-bones and pterygoid 

 processes. The whole skull is shorter and broader than 

 the normal type. There is considerable shortening and 

 deformity of the mandible. Hunterian. 



154. The skull of a similar Calf with more considerable shorten- 



ing of the whole axis, and extreme curvature of the rami 

 of the mandible. Presented by T. Wormald, Esq. 



155. A portion of the head of a Human infant, with arrested 



development of the ethmoid bone, absence of foramina 

 in the cribriform plate, of the nasal septum and premax- 

 illaries. There is a single median nostril and a deep 

 cleft between the lateral halves of the upper lip. In this 

 case the foramen ovale of the heart was patent, the testes 

 had not descended, and there were six digits on each 

 hand and one foot. (See Nos. 308-310.) 



Presented by R. Partridge, Esq. 



156. The head of a female Human foetus, with a broad cleft in 



the upper lip continuous with the nostrils, arrest of the 

 septum narium, and entire deficiency of the bony palate. 

 There is also apparently considerable deficiency of the 

 skull in the occipital region, similar to that exhibited in 

 No. 279. Hunterian. 



157. The head of a Human foetus with arrest of the ethmoid bone 



and nasal septum. The eyes are approximated. There 

 is no palate. The nostrils are absent, and the upper lip 

 is deeply cleft in the mesial line. A section has been 

 made through the mandible and tongue to exhibit the 

 condition of the roof of the mouth and the nasal cavity. 



Presented by Sir W. Blizard. 



158. A portion of the head of a Human foetus with shortening 



of the whole cranip-facial axis. The right eye is abnor- 

 mally small, and the left is deficient: its eyelids are 

 wanting, and a mere depression marks the position of the 

 orbit. The palate and the upper lip are entirely wanting. 

 The maxillary and naso-frontal processes remain distinct. 

 The external ears present numerous abnormal lobules. 

 The base of the skull has been dissected to show the
