It will be seen from the present position of these two missiles that 
both must have traversed the body diagonally from before backward. 
In neither instance are there any evidences of inflammatory action, and 
the conclusion is therefore warranted that in both cases death has re- 
sulted within a short time after receipt of the injury. 
An arrow wound of the skull is noted on page 252. 
One subject, otherwise normal, presents an example of complete 
ankylosis of the coccyx to the sacrum. 
Figure 11 illustrates the results of a chronic osteitis followed by © 
“ diffuse hypertrophy” of the humerus: its fellow was normal, except 
that the olecranon fossa was likewise perforated; it came from the 
same subject as the tibia shown in figure 15.

Another humerus exhibits a spinous exostosis 9 mm. in length, on 
the outer side of the shaft at the lowest point of insertion of the deltoid; 
its appearance would suggest its formation in the tendon of that 
muscle. 
Fracture of the anatomical neck of the humerus has occurred 
in one instance; good union has resulted with slight displacement of 
the lower fragment outward. The specimen is not at hand to figure, 
Figure 12 represents what appears to be the result of fracture of
