The following case is compiled partly from my notes taken at the time in the clinic of M. Nélaton, and partly from the report of M. Chedevergne, interne in the Hôpital des Cliniques, Paris, published in the Gazette des Hôpitaux, February 9, 1865. The skeleton, I believe, is in the Musée Dupuytren. The photograph is copied from the original by Pierre Petit, of Paris. — page 45.
