grams, craniotomy, cleidotomy, ectopic gestation with peritoneal 

 implantation of the placenta, and gelatinous mass in the abdo- 

 men (probably meconium), 1 each. Eight of the cases of 

 cephalohematoma had meningeal hemorrhage, 2 subcapsular hem- 

 orrhage of the liver, and 1 hemorrhage in the adrenals and 

 kidneys. 



CAUSES OF DEATH FROM THE FIRST TO THE SIXTH DAY 



Causes of death, first day, 19 cases. Hemorrhage, 12 cases; 

 congenital atelectasis of the lungs, 4; volvulus of the intestine, 

 artificial anus with bronchopneumonia, acute enteritis with he- 

 patic cirrhosis, 1 each. Of the 12 cases of hemorrhage, 10 were 

 in the cerebrum or meninges, 1 of these being caused by rupture 

 of hernia cerebri frontalis, 2 were in the adrenals, 1 was in the 

 duodenum. The last case was in a premature male of 7 months, 

 who also had a hematoma in the inferior border of the left lobe 

 of the liver; rupture of the liver; hemorrhage into the perito- 

 neum, the thorax, and the adrenals ; and slight atelectasis of the 

 lungs. 



Second day, 5 cases. Hemophilia neonatorum, multiple con- 

 genital anomalies, imperforate rectyim, congenital umbilical her- 

 nia with the liver and part of the intestines inside an umbilical 

 sac, and comminuted fracture of the temporal bones, 1 each. The 

 last had also hemorrhage into the peritoneum, liver capsule, 

 and adrenals probably following resuscitation. 



Third day, 11 cases. Six of these were due to the following 

 causes: Hemophilia neonatorum, atresia recti with pulmonary 

 hemorrhage and scoliosis, icterus neonatorum with pulmonary 

 atelectasis in a premature infant, internal hydrocephalus in a 

 male twin, and secondary anaemia caused by hemorrhage from the 

 umbilical cord, whic"h was cut very short. Of the remaining 5, 

 3 had hemorrhage into the lungs and brain. Besides the hem- 

 orrhage into the lungs and brain, patent ductus arteriosus was 

 found in 2 cases of the former and patent foramen ovale in 1 

 case of the former and in 1 of the latter. 



Fourth day, 2 cases. One had hemorrhage into the right 

 cerebellar hemisphere and the other hemorrhage into the lungs, 

 internal hydrocephalus, and patent ductus arteriosus and foramen 

 ovale. The last was a premature male, 7 months old. 



Fifth day, 8 cases. Hemorrhage, 5 cases; suppurative men- 

 ingitis, action of rats, and congenital syphilis, 1 each. Of the 

 5 cases of hemorrhage, 4 were subdural and accompanied by 

 icterus, 1 of these had omphalitis, another streptococcsemia-
