    3. Latent empyema on both sides. A carious area in the bottom of a deep recess in the outer wall of the left sinus. 4. Latent empyema. Polypoid degeneration of the mucous membrane. Bone intact. 5. Latent empyema. Polypoid degeneration of mucous membrane, with a considerable area of rough and softened bone; projecting from the posterior wall a pyramid-shaped exostosis as big as a lentil-seed. 6. Latent empyema on both sides. In both posterior walls carious gaps exposing the dura. Secondary cerebral abscess. 7. Left frontal sinus of a case already published (43). Latent empyema, fcetid pus, polypi, bone intact. 8. Left latent empyema. Mucous membrane smooth, and dark red in colour. 9. Right latent empyema. Sinus full of polypoid growths. Bone intact. In this case I examined one of the little polypi. It presented the characters of a soft cedematous papilloma. Several other cases of extensive bone disease will be referred to later, in treating of intracranial suppuration. From the above resume of pathological facts one can only conclude that we are not yet in a position to formulate any scheme of Classification embracing all the clinical forms ; but nevertheless the general result of the pathological observations on nasal suppuration amounts to this, that it conforms in all respects to the laws of general pathology.
