Also a perfect right radius of corresponding dimensions,

~3. A left humerus, of which the upper-third is wanting, 
and which is so much slenderer than the right as apparently 
to belong to a distinct individual; a left w/a, which, though 
complete, is pathologically deformed, the coronoid process 
being so much enlarged by bony growth, that flexure of the 
elbow beyond a right angle must have been impossible ; the 
anterior fossa of the humerus for the reception of the coro- 
noid process being also filled up with a similar bony growth. 
At the same time, the olecranon is curved strongly down- 
wards. As the bone presents no sign of rachitic degene- 
ration, it may be supposed that an injury sustained during 
life was the cause of the anchylosis. When the left ulna is 
compared with the right radius, it might at first sight be 
concluded that the bones respectively belonged to different 
individuals, the ulna being more than half an inch too short 
for articulation with a corresponding radius. But it is clear
