During the year from July 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912, the 

 specimens from the operating rooms of the Philippine General 

 Hospital have been examined by the authors, who were detailed 

 to the work by the late director of the Bureau of Science. 

 Within this period, the first attempt at complete organization 

 of this work was made, with the result that during the latter 

 part of the year all of the specimens from the operating rooms 

 have been examined and complete records have been filed. While 

 it is true that during the latter part of the year routine exami- 

 nation of all specimens was made, no selection of the material 

 to be examined during the earlier part was exercised, those 

 being examined for which time was available. 



The following is a statistical survey of the material: 

 Four hundred forty-eight specimens derived from 415 cases 

 were examined as follows: 



Gynaecological General surgical 



specimens 233 or 52 per cent. specimens 174 or 38.9 percent.

specimens 41 or 9.1 per cent.
