(2) A case of _dermatitis artefacta_ in a young lady, a private patient, who gave the following history. She was bitten by an old collie dog twenty-three days ago on the calf, through her dress. She was not seen by a doctor until a week or more later, and when seen by him she had a circular “patch upon the calf of vesicating erythema, surrounding the bite, with a vivid erythematous non-vesicating ring, about half an inch broad, surrounding the central patch, and separated from it by an intervening band of healthy skin, about a quarter of an inch broad.” Four days later an exactly similar condition was noted on the lower part and inner aspect of the same leg, “a patch of vesicating erythema the size of a florin, surrounded immediately by healthy skin and then a ring of vivid erythema half an inch wide.” The patient did not appear to be in any way neurotic. There was no apparent animus against the owners of the dog, who were old and intimate friends, and no breach of relations between them had taken place. She led a healthy active life and was, in fact, in robust health at the time. The ointment used in the first instance was obtained from a chemist; her doctor had prescribed carbolic ointment. The method of production was not ascertained and no adequate motive could be assigned. (3) A case which was shown as _syringomyelia_ with trophic ulcers on the upper arm and shoulder in a woman who had been under Mr. Ernest Lane’s care for about twelve years, and had had numerous operations performed for a continually ascending necrosis of bone accompanied by trophic ulcers on the skin. Some divergences of opinion were expressed as to the diagnosis, and this being at any rate a rare and interesting case, a more detailed report will be subsequently submitted for publication in this journal. * * * * *
