No. 208 



(Dr. J. Y. Dale, Lamont, Pa.) 



Normal embryo, CR 7 mm., GL 8 mm. The specimen was enclosed 

 in an almond-shaped ovum, measming 22 x 11 x 11 mm., and there x 

 was considerable magma within the exocoelom. The specimen came 

 from a married woman whose last period began on Etecember 28, 1901, 

 and who had coitus only twice, January 5 and January 7, between this 

 period and the time of abortion, February 15, 1902. Dr. Dale informs 

 me that the data are entirely reliable, as both the woman and her 

 husband are thoroughly trustworthy. The specimen was secured for 

 me by Prof. John G. Clark of the University of Pennsylvania, who 

 thought that its unique historj^ gave it greater value. Menstrual age, 

 49 days; copulation age, 39 to 41 days.

 Embryo, CR 9.8 mm. 



Menstrual age, 28 days; copulation, 27 days. Data inaccurate and 

 incomplete. Not a reliable case. 



No. 443 



(Dr. William Grant, Baltimore.) 



Embryo about 10.5 mm. long. 



The specimen was sent at the suggestion o^ Prof. T. S. Cullen on 

 account of its interesting history. Menstrual age, 27 days and copula- 

 tion age, 28 days. On account of the manner in which the history was 

 given, and because of the degree of development of the embryo, the 

 data can hardly be admitted as correct. The husband had been away 

 from home for four months prior to the time of coitus, which was on the 

 last day of menstruation. The woman is the mother of four healthy 

 children and menstruates regularly every 28 daj^s. The patient was 

 reluctant to show the specimen to the physician, and both she and her 

 family defended her character, a fact which would seem still further to 

 convict her. For this reason the record is not to be considered reliable 

 so far as the age of the embryo is concerned.
