 connective tissue stroma as shown in the next photograph, 

 which represents one of the nodules in the liver, in which some 

 of the cylinders are cut transversely across. (One photo- 

 graph, No. 46, shown.) 



The ovaries were transformed into oval nodulated scirrhus

these also were composed of similar cylinders embedded in a 

 connective tissue stroma. (One photograph, No. 47, shown.) 

 I add here two additional representations of the nucleated 

 cylinders in cancers of the breast. The first is taken from a

 cicatrix, and was again extirpated in May, 1870. It again re-
