    1368^^. The elbow, with the remaining portion of the tumor, which also furnished the first-named specimen. Smaller tumors are seen growing around, from the aponeurosis of the biceps. The infiltration of some of the surrounding structure is seen in this specimen, which gives it more of a carcinomatous character. 1363®*^. Another specimen from the same arm, showing two of the recent tumors, which, before immersion in spirits, were semitransparent, and the cicatrix occasioned by the pre- vious operation. 1363®*^. Arm and hand of a child amputated by Mr. B. Cooper for a large carcinomatous tumor over the biceps muscle. 1363^®. Forearm and part of hand, showing a large vascular growth apparently carcinomatous; this is altogether distinct from the bone. Below is a growth springing apparently from the periosteum, and which contains osseous matter; also similar bony growth from the metacarpal bone of hand. Amputated by Mr. Bottomley of Croydon. 1363®^. Part of the arm with the elbow-joint, amputated by Mr. B. Cooper, showing a large carcinomatous tumor which appears to have commenced from the aponeurosis. A similar tumor had previously been removed from the same spot. The cicatrix left by the operation is visible in the preparation. See wax model (pathological), No. 22; and drawing, No. 28. 1363®®. Fibrous tumor from forearm, removed by Mr. Cock in 1857. Case of Jane C., aged 11. It was of nine months’ growth, and was very deeply seated in bend of elbow. 13 63®*^. Enchondromatous tumor from the wrist containing some ossific deposit, and in process of softening. Case of John H., aged 78, under Mr. Cock in 1857. He had had the growth on the wrist for thirty years, and which he attributed to the pressure of his tools in gardening. It had lately ulcerated.
