    fluid to become exceedingly frothy, but gave no pre- cipitate. 5. Hydrochloric acid gave a very faint clouding; soluble in excess. 6. Solution of ferrocyanide of potassium added to the last named caused a copious precipitate. 7. A solution of bichloride of mercury caused no pre- cipitate. 8. Neutral acetate of lead caused a very slight precipitate. 9. Basic acetate of lead caused a copious precipitate. II. In a multilocular cystic tumour, examined November 30th, the fluids contained in the different cysts varied somewhat in character. a. In a large cyst, with thin walls and clear contents, the fluid was very viscid, but clear. 1. Reaction very faintly alkaline; but, after standing for a short time, this reaction became more marked. (Qy. From evolution of ammonia?) 2. Sp. gr. 1010; 60° Fahr. 3. Acetic acid gave no precipitate in the cold. 4. Boiled with acetic acid, both when faintly acidulated, and with excess of acid, it gave no precipitate. 5. Hydrochloric acid. No precipitate. 6. Solution of ferrocyanide of potassium, added to last, gave a very faint clouding of an opalescent tint, which became darker on standing, thus indicating the presence of iron. (I have no note of the fact, but I believe that I tested the hydrochloric acid used at the time.) 7. Solution of bichloride of mercury gave no precipitate. 8. Neutral acetate of lead gave no precipitate. 9. Basic acetate of lead gave no precipitate. b. In a second cyst having the same external cha- racters, the contained matter presented considerable varie- ties. While one portion was comparatively fluid, refracting, and transparent, another part, though also clear and refract- ing, was very dense and semi-solid, approaching a consis- tence between that of the vitreous humour and crystalline
