Half of the muscles of the hips and thighs were converted into bone, and for a long time this specimen was the leading curiosity of the Dublin Museum.

In the Isle of Man, some years ago, there was a case of ossification which continued progressively for many years.

Before death this man was reduced to almost a solid mass of bony substance.
With the exception of one or two toes his entire frame was solidified.
He was buried in Kirk Andreas Churchyard, and his grave was strictly guarded against medical men by his friends, but the body was finally secured and taken to Dublin by Dr.McCartney.

Le Cat speaks of a calculus weighing over three pounds, and Morand is accredited with having seen a calculus which weighed six pounds.
