1. IntTRopUcTORY. 
THe peculiar organism which forms the subject of this 
memoir was first brought to notice by Major F. O’Kinealy, 
I.M.S., occurring in a growth removed from a native patient 
at the Medical College Hospital, Calcutta, in May, 1894. 
The growth in question was described as ‘‘a small, vascular, 
pedunculated tumour, about the size and shape of a large pea, 
projecting into the vestibule of the left nasal fossa. It was a 
freely movable, painless growth, with all the appearances of 
a papilloma, and was attached by a short pedicle to the mucous 
membrane at the anterior and upper end of the cartilaginous 
septum, being entirely confined to that region.”’ The tumour 
was examined microscopically by Major J.C. Vaughan, I.M.S. 
then officiating Professor of Pathology at the Medical College. 
A section of the tumour was exhibited by Major O’Kinealy 
before the Laryngological Society of London, and his descrip-
