l6 QUATERCENTENARY STUDIES IN PATHOLOGY 



solvent action, or again, empty shells, with or without lateral spines, are 

 seen lying closely contiguous to round bodies, which are the transversely 

 cut shells of ova which have been thus sectioned by the knife of the 

 microtome. Never is a recognisable miracidium seen within these dead 

 ova, but a mass of amorphous nature, deeply stainable by logwood, is all 

 that represents the original content of the ovum. The slightly yellowish, 

 chitinous (?) wall of the ovum is all that remains in many instances, 

 enclosing, it may be, some dark granular material presumably calcic in 

 nature. 



To conclude, we have in the present case : — 



1. A unique growth of bilharzial fibromata of the intestinal wall. 



2. A marked bilharzial cirrhosis of the liver. 



3. A bilharzial fibrosis of the appendix vermiformis. 



4. Bilharzia ova in the pancreas. 



5. Bilharzia ova in the mesenteric glands. 



6. An extreme bilharzial polyposis of the large bowel. 



7. A few bilharzial papillomata in the lower part of the ileum. 



8. Incipient bilharziosis of the urinary bladder. 



9. And, as an epiphenomenon, an acute tuberculosis of the lungs 



and pleura.
