"This specimen was taken from the body of a white man who was killed by Indians in 1869, at an out-post near Fort Concho, Texas. There were extracted from his lungs and heart no less than four arrow-heads, and a fifth was impacted at the junction of the rib with the right transverse process of the fourth dorsal vertebra. Its position is shown in the specimen numbered 5673 of the Surgical Section, which was contributed to the Army Medical Museum, with the history, by Assistant Surgeon W. M. Notson, U. S. A."
