The operations may be of interest as indicating the widened scope of hysterectomy, and some of the cases possess features which lead me to think they will interest other surgeons. The clinical records are very briefly summarised in the table by simply representing the initial letter of the patient’s name, her age, social state, and the conditions which rendered the operation necessary. The date of the operation is given to facilitate reference to the hospital books. The facts on which the table is based were kindly drawn up for me by Dr. Provis, lately Registrar but now Physician to out-patients at the Chelsea Hospital for Women, and Dr. Victor Bonney allows me to state that he has verified the references in regard to the cases treated in the Middlesex Hospital. I intentionally restrict collective reports of this kind to hospital work, because critics can, if they wish, test their accuracy by consulting the hospital records. This is, of course, impossible in private work, besides being a breach of confidence to pub- lish records relating to private patients in such a way as to lead to their identification. The pathological conditions for w7hich hysterec- tomy was required fall easily into the following groups: Cancer 5, fibroids 37, fibrosis of the uterus 6,
