ckening, irregular incharacter. (2) Areas of increased rarefaction due to marked absorption of the limesalts, with an effort towards new bone formation. (3) Periostitis leads to many layers of new bone being laid down alongthe whole length of the bone. Generally multiple, it therefore affects manyof the long bones. In other cases the thickening may be localised, causing areas of densenew bone formation. Syphilitic Dactylitis This is characterised by periosteal overgrowth, with little or no apparentdisturbance of the bone, the appearance presented by this condition afford-ing a fairly reliable diagnostic point in favour of syphilis. Chronic infective Osteomyelitis (1) General infiltration causes a deeper shadow about the bone and jointwhen the disease appears in the vicinity of the latter. (2) Periosteal infiltration and overgrowth lead to marked increase of theadjacent bone, and this sclerosed bone appears to be much denser than normalbone, and the shadow is greatly increased in area.

This is followed byperiosteal thickening, necrosis of bone, evidenced by areas of varying density,indicating sequestra. The disease may become localised, when radiographic-ally it is shown by an area of lighter shading surrounded by a periphery ofdenser bone. The condition may arise near the epiphyseal line. Abscessof bone may be the result of the inflammatory process, a typical instancebeing the well-known abscess in the upper end of the tibia or lower end ofthe femur. In the hip-joint a mixed infective process may give rise to appearanceswhich have to be differentiated from tuberculous cases. Though the appear
