Appearing to have considered that the flaps could not heal over a bony edge of such extreme sharpness, the soft parts had actively undertaken the ta^k of removing this troublesome angle. Above, in a semilunar line across the spine of tho tibia, and below, in a similar line crossing the cancelli and the cut edges of the bone, there extended, along the margins of the remains of the anterior and posterior flap, fringes of granulations. This upper and lower row of granulations not. only surrounded the exposed edge of bone, but had
