still within the patient's body-cavity. Above all then, the tissues of the tumors 

 surest themselves as most likely the proper home of the parasites, whence they 

 might have fallen into the fluid-accumulation of the body-cavity or into the 

 alimentary canal by rupture. At the post mortem examination, which was under - 

 taken eighteen hours after death, Prof. Miura found a number of dead, swollen 

 and motionless Amoeba? on the surface of the tumors. Further results of his 

 extended researches on the pathological parts remain yet unknown to me. It is 

 hoped that in his forthcoming report he will be able to bring forward facts which 

 will help to clear up the question of the relation that the parasites bore to the 

 patient's disease 



In conclusion I wish to express my thanks to Prof. K. M iura for supplying 

 me with both materials and informations, without which I could never have been 

 able to complete this report.
