sections. This specimen was formerly numbered G. C. 857, 



but the description of that number does not at all apply to this 



specimen. G. C. 857.

9. 48. Larg"e Sarcoma. — Section of a large sarcomatous tumour — 

 in spirit. 



" It was removed from the back." 



The cut surface shows it to consist of an interlacement of 

 strong fibrous bands, forming compartments of variable size, which 

 contain a soft, friable-looking substance, in many places breaking 

 down. G. C. 187. 



9. 49. Large Sarcoma. — Section of a large tumour, with adherent 

 skin — in spirit. 



' ' It was successfully removed from the neck by Sir Everard Home. 

 The patient recovered so well as to leave the hospital, but was then lost 

 sight of." 



The tumour consists, like the previous specimen, of an inter- 

 lacement of fibrous bands, forming large and smaller subdivisions, 

 the latter of which contain a soft material, in many places 

 breaking down. The spaces, however, in this specimen are 

 larger, and the tumour is more definitely separated into lobules 

 by the connective tissue. The other portion is in the Museum of 

 the Royal College of Surgeons of England. E. C. x. i. M. 4. 



9. 50. Large Sarcoma. — Section of a large sarcomatous tumour 



from the arm, with a portion of the thinned skin which lay over 



it. 



This tumour, like the last, is seen on section to be composed 



of several large masses, separated by fibrous septa, each mass 



being subdivided by septa into small lobules of soft material. 



The lobules of several of the masses are softening and breakinn- 



down. G. C. 577.
