among the common people, especially in multipara, in which the 

 uterine passages are not properly treated following parturition. 

 This undoubtedly accounts, in a degree at least, for a larger 

 percentage of abortions.

Table II shows the number of normal and pathological speci- 

 mens obtained both from uterine and ectopic pregnancies. The 

 numerical index indicating the rate of growth per month is taken 

 from the one adopted from Mall. The largest number of abor- 

 tions occurred in the second month of gestation. The number 

 then gradually decreases in each succeeding month, with only 

 two abortions in the last month of pregnancy. The largest per- 

 centage of pathological specimens, 120, or 88.8 per cent, are 

 uterine, and 15, or 11.2 per cent, are ectopic pregnancies. The 

 total number of normal specimens is 73, or 54.8 per cent, while 

 the pathological specimens number 62, or 46 per cent. Of this 

 latter number 37 per cent are from uterine and 8.8 per cent are 

 from ectopic pregnancies.
