ture in the Bregma: The Scalp was fo much con- 
tufed and lacerated, that the next Day it began to 
mortify, which obliged me to lay all that Side of the 
Coronal , and the greateft Part of the Bregma, home 
to the Lamdoid Suture , bare, from the upper Part of his 
Head down to his Ear (as in Tab. Ill ) : Th zdDura and 
Bia Mater were very livid, and infenfible to the Touch, 
except thofe Parts where the Brain was wounded, in the

detergent Lotion, before it would ceafe, introducing 
it between the c Dura Mater and the Edges of the 
Fra&ure. The upper Eye-lid in a Week's time im-

c Dura Mater began to regenerate, looking very red 
and freih j the livid and lacerated Parts fluff off, and 
the Extremities of the Fradure began to throw out 
their Offifications from the B)iploe and both Tables 
of the Cranium , like fnftall Excrefcences, or proud 
Flefh, which in a Month’s time fpread over the whole 
Fradure 5 and I made my Obfervation, that it grew
