The two last cases are from the same author, and the heart is simply stated to be normal, which I am disposed to consider refers to its valves and orifices, not to bulk or weight. In the first the aorta was of great size. In both there was disease of the cerebral vessels. Lastly, I give a table of all the cases of clots in the brain from the Transactions of the Pathological Society of London, according to the recent Index of Mr. Holmes, under the heading of Brain-clots, or Apo- plexy. The following is the account of the heart and cerebral vessels. Vol. I. Page 36, No. 5. Heart not mentioned. Arteries of brain healthy. j> V 6. Heart loaded with fat. Arteries of brain extensively diseased. „ 38. Apoplectic cell. Heart and arteries not mentioned. „ 180. Heart enlarged. Arteries diseased. „ 224. Heart much enlarged. Arteries diseased. Vol. III.
