    TO THE HISTORY AND ET10L0GY OF SP0NÜYL-0LISTHES1S. Although tlie liistory of spondyl-olistbesis lias quite recently been enricbed by tbe interesting work of Swedelin in tbe last number of tbe Archives of Gyncekology, I nevertbeless am induced to publisb separately some fresb clinical observations made by nie since tliat time, as tbey are valuable from several points of view. Sonie time ago 17 cases of lumbo-sacral spondyl-olistbesis as patbological speciniens and only 16 cases seen clinically were publislied and made known to a large circle of tbe profession. It now appears tbat two accounts publisbed in 1875 were overlooked in tbe making tbe list of tbe literature of tbe subject, as tbey were accessible only to a limited number of readers : one of tbese was a case of spondyl-olistlietic pelvis seen during labour at Cbristiana, and publisbed in tbe trans- actions of tbe medical society of tbat place ; tbe otber was a dissertation publisbed at Friburg in 1875, in wbicli two otber cases were described by Egger. Tbe number of clinical observa- tions was tbus increased to 19, to wbicb I will now add 6 more ; of tbese one was seen by Hegar in Friburg, one by Freund in Strasburg, wbile one at Strasburg, anotlier at Paris, and two more at Berlin bave lately corne under my own observa- tion. Tbe total number of clinical cases, including one of Zweifel’s at Erlangen yet unpublisbed, would tberefore amount to 26.* * In ail, tlierefore, 43 cases of spondyl-olistlietic pelvis (including one clinical case in a man) were known up to January 1884, viz. :— (a) 17 anatomical préparations : 2 eacli at Prague, Vienna, and Wilrtzburg; 1 each at Bonn, Breslau, Giessen, Halle, Liège, Moscow, Munich, Paderborn, Paris, Treves, Zurich (in 9 of these cases the subjects had been under clinical observation during life). (b) 20 clinical observations : in Berlin, Friburg, and Strasburg, in each 3 cases ; in
