 clots which are found in the tube are composed almost exclusively of fibrin con I Min-

 mass may be extruded and bring the pregnancy to an abrupt end. In case this 

 does not take place the clot probably disappears entirely by absorption. My 

 material does not warrant any statement regarding the ultimate fate of a small 

 fibrous clot or of an excessive hemorrhage in the tube, which contains within it a 

 few fibrous villi; nevertheless, the suggestion that the latter condition may have 

 some relation to hematosalpinx, hydrosalpinx, and pyosalpinx is pertinent.
