Ie referred to the classical operation in which three transplantations were made in one arm, and declared that patients who had submitted to these processes were found be capable of undertaking heavy work,
Mr. Bristow, who followed, said that, although a fair and critical survey of the nerve injuries of the war must leave them pessimistically inclined, yet there was a brighter side to the picture, War in- juries were complicated by sepsis, but for the nerve injuries of civil life prognosis must be vastly better, the experience gained at nerve surgery on the scale which had been possible would help to crystallise their ideas for the benefit of the patient and for the improvement of teaching.

Although ever strong combinations from the other side of the Border have been giving demonstrations in various parts of Scotland during the past few weeks, perhaps no team of players have been more welcome than the side from Leicestershire, which visited the extreme North of Scotland. This district has been greatly neglected by our own home clubs. The visit of Leicestershire has, however, gone a long way to prove what has often been urged that the North is one of the greatest cricketing nurseries in Scotland, and should receive much greater attention: Leicestershire, as might be expected, proved little too strong for the teams which they met at Inverness and Nairn, but their opponents gave a sound and, to many, a surprising display. And at Aberdeen an XI from the Northern Counties managed a draw, Captain Alexander, Gordon High landers, making 112 not out.
