    13G6^o_ Finger amputated by Mr. Morgan for an encbondromatoiis tumor. It is placed here because it appeared to grow from the extensor tendons. 136670. 136675. 1367. 1368. 1369. 136916. 136918. 136920. Carcinomatous tumor (?) the size of an orange, growing from the theca of one of the tendons of the fingers. Section of finger, showing destruction of flexor tendon by a thecal abscess, only a trace of tendinous fibre being seen passing through the granulations. Case of George K., aged 26, under Mr. Hilton in 1856. Six months before he injured his middle finger by a rope, abscess followed, and it was amputated. See drawing 3?2®. Last joint of the middle finger with its tendon from the flexor profundus attached to it. It was torn by a thrash- ing machine, and the accident was followed by tetanus. The patient recovered. Upper portion of os femoris, exhibiting a large growth of bone or exostosis from the trochanter minor. It was placed in this section, in consequence of its being considered an ossification of the insertion of the psoas and iliacus muscles. A portion of muscle, apparently from the thigh, converted into fat. Tumor removed from the gluteal region of a girl by Mr. Key. It is firm and dense, and of a fibro-plastic character. Cysticercus cellulosae from gluteal muscle. Case of Henry C., aged 38, under Mr. Hilton in 1856. He was a shoemaker, and had observed a tumor for seven months. Suppuration had occurred around it, so that when the abscess was opened the cyst escaped. Bursa removed from over the tuberosity of the ischium, by Mr. Cock in 1854.
