Dr. J. C. Warren.

3047. A portion of the ulnar nerve, from just above the elbow, and attached to it a small cancerous growth.

The patient was a man, forty-seven years of age, who had had a tumor there for twenty-four years ; and, two years before his entrance into the hospital (77, 189), a mass, weighing 2 Ibs., had been removed. The disease having returned, Dr. B. amputated the arm at the shoulder- joint. The ulnar nerve entered the upper part of a large cancerous tumor, and just before it was lost in it bulged out to the size of a sparrow's egg. This last was felt very distinctly before the operation ; and also a firm cord, running down into the tumor from the axilla, and which was very painful on pressure.

The fingers, coming out from the mass, are considerably spread by the growth of the dis- ease, but are healthy so far as seen.

Dr. G. Hayward.

3051. . Section of the above tumor, showing an

opaque, white, anfractuous, malignant-looking structure ; with no appearance of natural tissues, excepting the ten- dons at the wrist-joint. Dr. G. Hayward.

3052. Section of a portion of a melanotic tumor, that was removed by Dr. G. H. Dadd, veterinary surgeon, from a gray stallion, nine years old. The disease was of eighteen
