✦ Synopsis

THE following cases show t h e completeness with which motor recovery takes place after suture of the musculospiral nerve, a n d accord with t h e general impression as to the results of suture of this particular nerve. They are brought forward because t h e y show t h e rate of recovery of t h e nerve and-by t h e order in which recovery of t h e muscles takes place-emphasize t h e progressive down-growth of t h e axis-cylinder. They are also p u t forth as offering a hypothesis to explain t h e difference i n t h e results of suture in t h e musculospiral as opposed t o other nerves.
