It is a fact, however, that two thirds of all cases of deviation are confined to the cartilaginous and to the anterior portion of the osseous part of the septum. This is illustrated in the statistics just cited. Zuckerkandl's observations were made from dry skulls in which he found but 37-8 per cent, of deviations, indicating that in these cases the deviation was confined to the osseous portion, whereas in observations made entirely upon the living subject, in which the cartilaginous portion is present, the percentages reach from fifty to ninetyeight. Classification.--Various attempts at classification have been made in regard to the form of the deviations, and nearly every writer on this subject has a classification of his own. Thus Loewenberg $ divides them, according to their situation and direction, into superior, inferior, horizontal, and vertical deviations; Jarvis, J into osseous, cartilaginous, and osseo-cartilaginous; Sendziak, into simple deviations to the right or left, and deviations with partial thickening; Stoker ff considers the subject under the following heads: Anatomie der Nasenhohlc, erstes Bd., S. 102, zweite Auflage, 1893. f Transactions of the American Laryngological Association, 1887.
