    cinoma cells arranged precisely as one sees them in an ordinary glandular cancer. A recent contribution from the laboratory of Professor Panas by Gilbert Sourdille reviews the previous literature of the subject of primary epithelioma of the Meibomian glands, and contributes a case very analogous to the one which I report to-day. In this instance a small tumor had protruded through the conjunctiva and was regarded as an ulcerated chalazion. After curetting, however, there was return, and finally the patient was reheved by the removal of the external half of the upper lid, which was repaired by a plastic operation. It will be remembered that Fuchs* has described glandular carcinoma of the lids which he believed arose either from the Meibomian or from Krause's glands. An interesting paper by Conrad Rumschewitschf bears upon this topic, particularly his observations on adenoma of the Meibomian glands, and in the present instance the evidence of glandular origin seems com- plete.
