There is also a detached piece of bone, of considerable size, that was felt, and was quite movable before dissection, and may, perhaps, have been the small trochanter. was from the same subject. 1865.

Dr. Wm. G. B. Fifield, of Dorchester.

1083. Old and strongly united fracture of the neck at its junc- tion with the shaft, and from which last it stands off at a right angle ; the head being much depressed. Both tro- chanters are also broken off in one piece. 1847.
