Abstract
The former part of this paper may be considered as a continuation of a preceding one by the same author, printed in the last volume of the; Philosophical Transactions, and contains an enumeration of many more facts and circumstances, from which we gather that an aperture in the Membrana Tympani does not essentially diminish the power of the ear, and that even a complete destruction of that membrane is not followed by total deafness. The causes by which it may be injured are here further inquired into, and are found chiefly to be a suppuration in the Meatus Auditorius, and any kind of external violence; such as blows on the side of the head, the forcible introduction of extraneous substances into the ear, &c.
