1 708. The tricuspid valve, which alone is preserved, looks as if it had been torn across and afterward firmly cicatrized, except at one point ; the rest of the valve being sufficiently health} 7 . The heart was thickened and dilated ; the aortal valves almost quite healthy, but the mitral very greatly diseased.

1711. Second. "Concentric hypertrophy" of the left ven- tricle ; transverse section.
1712. Third. Another section of the same.
1713. A heart preserved entire, that weighed nearly 2J Ibs.,
and that was generally enlarged, but without valvular dis- ease.
