The Honorary Secretary drew the attention of members to an interesting 

 exhibit sent by Surgeon-Major G. H, S. Gimlette, I.M.S,, consisting of the 

 left hind leg bones of a tiger, which had been smashed by a bullet some 

 months before the animal was killed, and showing the natural process by 

 which such injuries become cured. The broken bones are joined by an ir- 

 ret^ular mass of new bone, a great part of which would in time have becorae 

 absorbed. The tiger was going quite sound on the leg when he was killed; the 

 wound had long been healed, and beneath the skin was found a fragment of 

 the express bullet which had smashed the bones.
