Monkey (6). Into the left biceps and beneath the skin of the 

 right side of the chest were placed pieces of a scirrhus of the 

 breast. 



Lived 1.5 days. Death from cold. Superficial suppuration at seat 

 of wounds. 



Monkey (7). Into the abdominal cavity was placed a thick disc 

 of scirrhus about 1^ inch in diameter. 



Lived 3 days. Death from intestinal obstruction. 

 Post Mortem. No adhesions. Tumour unaltered in appearance. 

 Monkey (8). Into the abdominal cavity was placed a whole 

 scirrhus of the breast. 



Lived 49 days. Death from diarrhoea. Wound healed. Graft 

 was contained in a circumscribed abscess. 



Cat (1). Into the abdominal cavity was placed an entire scirrhus 

 of the breast, the fat having been clipped off with scissors; the 

 tumour was dipped in carbolic lotion (1 in 100) before insertion. 

 The operation was done within three-quarters of an hour after 

 removal from the patient. 



Wound healed by first intention. Animal died 320 days after the 

 experiment. Post mortem. Adherent to the under surface of the 

 liver were the remains of the tumour. This was of a pale yellow 

 colour, and diminished from its original size, very firm in section, 

 fibrous, and presenting islets of softish yellow semi-fluid substance. 

 All the other organs were healthy, except the kidneys, which were 

 granular. 



Babbit (1). Into the outer muscles of the right thigh was placed 

 a piece of scirrhus of the breast, f X ^ X | inch. 



Animal died 541 days later. Post mortem. In the muscle was 

 found a sharply-defined mass, of flattened oval form, 4 mm. in the 

 shorter diameter ; this consists of a distinct capsule of fibrous tissue, 

 enclosing particles of hard earthy substance. It would appear, 

 therefore, that the necrosed piece of tumour had undergone calcifica- 

 tion. Viscera all healthy ; brain not examined. 



Rabbit (2). Into the outer muscles of the right thigh were placed 

 two pieces of a scirrhus of the breast. Lived 6 days. Negative 

 result. 



Babbit (3). Into the outer side of the right thigh were placed, 

 two pieces of scirrhus. 



Lived 36 days. Post mortem. The two pieces of scirrhus were 

 lemon-yellow in colour, fairly firm, and in section presented softish 

 yellow areas. 



Dog (1). Into the abdominal cavity was inserted a whole scirrhus 

 of the breast, 1| x f inch. Superficial part of wound healed by
