    one of the darkest chapters in surgical pathology, as well as to offer such observations upon the management of the affection as have been suggested as the result of a personal experience cover- ing now nearly 200 cases of the disease, the present work has been undertaken. The chapter upon the Pathological Anatomy of the Ap- pendix Vermiformis is the work of Professor J. M. Van Cott, Jr. I desire also to express my obligations to Dr. Ezra C. Wilson, director of the Bacteriological Department of the Hoagland Laboratory, for valuable assistance in the preparation of the chapter upon Bacteriological Considerations, and to Dr. H. B. Delatour for collating the original notes of the series of cases in my hospital service upon which the present study is largely based and preparing the index. The lithographic illustrations are from colored sketches of the fresh specimen made immediately after removal by Mr. F. A. Deck. Brooklyn, 302 Washington Avenue, June, 1894.
