A leiomyosarcoma of intestine in a Savannah monitor, Varanus 
exanthematicus , (RTLA 2518; E. Jacobson) had metastasized to liver 
and possibly kidney. 
Connective tissue tumors included a dermal ossifying 
fibrosarcoma in a leatherjacket, Acantholuteres brownli , (RTLA 
2454; R. J. G. Lester) in which the foci of ossification were 
not well enough differentiated to resemble scale and a dermal 
fibroma in a redband parrotfish, Sparisoma aurofrenatum , (RTLA 
2492; J. Grizzle and E. H. Williams, Jr.) in which ossifying foci 
were not apparent. A myxoma was accessioned from a rainbow trout, 
S_. gairdneri , (RTLA 2560; N. C. Boustead). Lipoma and fibrolipoma 
were in a yellow-eye mullet, Aldrlchetta forsteri , (RTLA 2455; 
R. J. G. Lester), a bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus , (RTLA 2456; 
R. J. G. Lester), a largemouth bass, Mlcropterus salmoldes , (RTLA 
2472; J. Grizzle) and a brown bullhead, nebulosus , (RTLA 2535; 
J. Grizzle). 
Skeletal neoplasms included an osteoma which is well known in 
silver trevally, Caranx nobilis , (RTLA 2457; R. J. G. Lester) and 
a metastasizing osteochondrosarcoma in a spitting cobra, Naja 
nlgricollis , (RTLA 2474; A. Heldstab). 
REFERENCE LIBRARY 
The comprehensive computerized library on neoplasms and 
related disorders in ectothermic animals is approaching 4,000 ref¬ 
erences. Editing is in progress so a unified index of all papers 
and specimens can be published.
