It followed closely the line of the left eyebrow. from approximately the mldllne at the bridge of the nose to the extreme latcrnl edge of the left eyebrow. The line of in- cision then extended backwards from the bridge of the nose to II

Over this area the scalp was reflected but retained by attachment at the back of the head. There was no evidence of fracture of the skull at this stage of the examination and which was confirmed-later following removal of the brain.

"Other markings on the exter- nal surfaces of the, body suggestive of injury were comparatively slight In nature and consisted essentially of skin wounds of the type cale- goriled as "brush burns" or skin iibruions. These remaining wounds were located in the following areas: on the back of the right forearm

The latter. roundccl nnil about the clue of n so cant. piece, were each located exactly ll)": inches from the soles of the feet. At thts stage of the examination I was conjecturlng in my own mind just what the cause of death would be all there did not appear to be sufficient damage on external examination to indicate any spec- ific creit of involvement.

The fractured ends of several or these side ribs had lncei-ated the tissue of the upper lobe of the left lung.
