Upon the anterior and outer part of the bone, midway, is an appearance as if it may have been cut by an axe ; the bone being raised, as it often is in old sabre cuts of the skull, and to the extent of more thaa 4 in. The surface is perfectly healthy about it ; but upon the head and neck there is some osseous deposit. 1860.
