mixed with greafe. The rotula was intire, but very 
foft and fpongy ; the condyles of the femur the fame. 
All the cartilages were found in their natural date. 
The head of the humerus was much diminifhed and 
flatten’d : Its middle part very fmall, pliable foftened 
in all points, yet in fome friable. The cubitus and 
radius buffer'd the fame alterations with the humerus. 
By flretching all her limbs we laid them flreight ; 
but they foon after returned to their former curve. 
The phalanges of the fingers were not fo much 
foften’d, but were eafily cut, and bent like whale- 
bone. The femur was rather a flefhy body than a 
bone 5 its cavity was filled with a reddifh fuet, in- 
dead of marrow, which, accumulated in different 
points, bulged out the flefhy tides. The capacity 
of the pelvis was much diminifhed $ the bones, that 
compofe it, were foften’d, thicken’d, and contracted. 
The fpine kept its natural form ; the vertebras foft 
and fupple. The dernum, and all the cellular bones, 
feem’d lolid, but could bend, and were eafily cut. 
The ribs, tho’ foften’d, were dill friable. Some of 
them, towards the dernum, were doubled over one 
another. The clavicles feem’d almod cartilaginous. 
The fhoulder-blades were much thicker than natural, 
lefs broad, and intirely disfigured. The two protu-

The fcull-bones were eafily cut in flices, twice as 
thick as in their natural date. Both plates were 
joined in one, and no traces at all of a diploe. Their 
fubdance abounded with an extremely diluted ferum, 
eafily fqueezed out by a gentle preffure of one’s fin-
