A right Elbow, Forearm, and Hand, showing a large puckered cicatrix of the skin of the forearm, the result of a burn. Growing from the scarred integu- ment of the flexor surface of the arm just below the elbow there is a large fungus mass of epithelioma, of oval shape, projecting some distance from its surface. 37. A portion of a Thigh, showing on its anterior surface a large epitheliomatous ulcer of the integument. The edges of the growth are raised and sinuous; the base is formed by prominent granulations, which have been stained by carmine.

A vertical section of the Little Toe of each Foot of a Negro affected with Ainhum. In one a deep furrow is seen in the skin over the proximal inter- phalangeal joint, forming a nearly circular groove ; in the other the disease is more advanced, the phalanges have separated, and are suspended in the upper part of the jar. The cicatrix left is small and healthy looking. Ainhum (sig. to saw) is a disease of the little toe, leading to spontaneous amputation, affecting African negroes and their unmixed descendants born in the Brazils. The disease commences by the formation of a not quite semicircular furrow in the digito-plantar fold, occupying the internal and inferior portion of the root of the small toe ; this furrow next encircles the toe, and gradually deepening, effects amputation, if the part be not previously removed. See Falh. Soc. Trans., vol. viii, p. 277. 41. Little Toe of a Negro affected with ainhum. The terminal phalanges have separated. 42. A Little Toe of a Negro affected with ainhum. There is a deep furrow encircling the middle phalanx, but amputation is not nearly complete. DISEASES OF THE CUTANEOUS GLANDS. SEBACEOUS CYSTS. 43. A Sebaceous Cyst removed from the scalp.
