But the cellular Substance, which connects the twigs, shewed more red ves- sels than usual. And where the branches of the infraorbital nerve descend towards the cheek and upper lip, there appeared, under the infra« orbital foramcn, a remarkable dark red Spot as if of blood, resting upon the bone; and beside villous coat of the stomach was elevated into longer rugae, it appeared reddish or very slight- men, of a beautiful bright crimson.
