After a painful labor of twenty-four hours a macerated and decomposed child was born, together with a closely-adherent placenta.
Tarnier reports an instance of partus serotinus in which the product of conception was carried in the uterus forty days after term.

The fetus was macerated but not putrid, and the placenta had undergone fatty degeneration.

At a recent meeting of the Chicago Gynecological Society, Dr.F.A.Stahl reported the case of a German-Bohemian woman in which the fifth pregnancy terminated three hundred and two days after the last menstruation.

Twenty days before there had occurred pains similar to those of labor, but they gradually ceased.

The sacral promontory was exaggerated, and the anteroposterior pelvic diameter of the inlet in consequence diminished.
