GANGRENE OF THE EAR.

Gangrene affecting the ear is a very rare disease. It is mentioned in but three out of seven books on the ear, in my library. I have never seen a case in private practice, nor in my service at the various hospitals and dispensaries, until the following one appeared at my clinic at the Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary: Jan. 8, 1896, George T., 2 years old, was admitted as a house case. Five months ago he was placed by his mother in an orphan asylum. Two months ago suppuration of the right middle ear developed and continued to the present time, and five days since, the concha turned black and emitted a foul stench. The characteristics of the pulpy form of hospital gangrene were present, and Dr. Lieberthal, the dermatologist, who saw the case with me, confirmed the diagnosis of gangrene. The necrotic process involved both anterior and

The Bagshot Beds of Bagshot Heath (a Rejoinder)

The Author maintains that the northerly attenuation of the Lower Sands and of the ‘green-earth series’ between the two principal brick-clays of the district is an established fact. He insists on the value of the Wellington College well-section as a vertical datumline, on account of its proximity to the northern outcrop (which is not the case with the Goldsworthy section), and criticizes the arguments recently put forward in favour of an alternative and very doubtful sectional reading. But it does not stand alone, for the well-section at the Bagshot Orphan Asylum gives practically the same sequence, and affords strong evidence of the thinning northward of the above-named deposits. (Other instances cited by the Author in ‘Recent Contributions’ &c., corroborate the reading he has adopted.) The Goldsworthy section itself lends strong corroborative evidence as to the value of the College well-section. The evidence of attenuation in the direction of Bracknell the Author reserves for the present. In his paper published in the February number of the Society's Journal for the current year, Mr. Monckton ignores the determinative value of stratigraphical alignment of the clays claimed as the basal clays of the Middle group with clays of the same character seen cropping out from below the ‘green-earth series’ at no great distance. This evidence of stratigraphical alignment must be allowed due weight when set against evidence derived from such lithological characters as the presence of pipe-clay, mica, and false-bedding. The Author considers that the argument as to the fossil evidence is over-stated
