numerous pus cells and degenerated necrosed epithelium.
The haemorrhagic cysts occurring in the subperitoneal layer, are composed mostly of degenerated blood cells and pigment granules, which give iron reaction. The worms here appear to be not so mature as those present in the submucous cysts. Very often a subperitoneal cyst appears to have had a communicating passage with a submucous cyst. Evidences of cicatrization of some of the cysts is observed, and the cyst walls are closely approximated. They contain no worms.
A small gland in the adhesions between a coil of small intestine and omentum was observed to be cystic, and to contain a medium-sized immature worm. Two other glands were found containing large empty <3ysts. All the mesenteric and retroperitoneal glands are greatly enlarged.
The number of tumours visible, microscopically, are over 187. These involve the caecum and nine inches of the ascending colon.
Fifty-three cystic nodules were opened up ; sixteen were found to contain immature males, and thirty-seven females. This does not appear to coincide with Wein- berg's results as in the monkeys and apes, the male Qisophagostome was found in greater numbers. Only one worm was found in each cyst. Several cysts in the caecum and colon were found to be empty. Two immature adult females were found free in the faeces of the colon. In the faeces no ova of (Esophagostome were found — a few ankylostomes.
