    5. Union by means of Granulations. 126. The lower part of the mouth of a woman who died in child-bed, and had been delirious for some time previously. The tongue on the right side adheres to the cheek, and to the under lip in two different places. One of the adhesions is about half an inch in breadth, the other less. A little nearer to the apex than the freenum, the lower surface of the tongue adheres to the gum on the inside of the incisors; and on the left side its edge adheres very firmly to the gum on the inside of the semi-grinders. By injecting the parts by the lingual and genial arteries, these adhesions were also well injected. 127. Tendo Achilles united by granulations; the part injected. 128. The tendo Achilles of an ass, which had been divided and again united. The blood or uniting medium has only become a firm mass, not yet fibrous. 129. A longitudinal section of the tendo Achilles of an ass, which had been divided transversely, and then allowed to unite. The uniting substance is still distinct, not being yet completely converted into tendon. 130. The other section of the same tendon. 131. The tendo Achilles of a deer which had been divided transversely, of which a longitudinal section is made to show that the uniting medium between the divided extremities is still distinct, and not completely converted into tendon. 132. A similar preparation of the tendo Achilles from a deer. The uniting sub- stance has acquired the true appearance of tendon. 133. The other section of the same tendon. Series VI. Cicatrization. 1. Cicatrization of External Parts. 134. A sore cicatrizing: a section. 135. The cicatrices of two sores, on a portion of skin. 136. A portion of skin showing a sore cicatrized. The cuticle is partially sepa- rated from the surface by maceration, and turned down to show the dif- ferent appearance of the old and new cuticle.
