    distance into the substance of the lung. On the concave surface the patches are much more extensive, and a portion of the peri- cardium has become firmly adherent to the lung immediately below its root. In the right lung the patches show a greater tendency to coalesce into large plates; indeed, along the posterior border a mass of solid bone-like substance extends for a distance of three inches. Microscopically, the growth in the lungs consists essentially of a sarcomatous tumour, the cell-elements of which are for the most part round. The cells are enclosed in well-defined trabeculae, which have the appearance of cancellous bone. No true bone-corpuscles are developed, nor is there any cartilage. The growth is permeated by large blood-vessels, and there is no lung substance visible. Mr. Marks's drawing well exhibits the cha- racteristics of the growth as they appear under a high power of the microscope (PI. II, fig. 1). The specimens, with the drawings, are preserved in the museum of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. February 19th, 1889.
