plications. The foetus, which was well developed, showed 
evidence of deep anemia. In the hepato-duodenal ligaments 
there were six lymphatic glands, largely tumefied, the section 
of which showed caseous and calcareous focci; and sur¬ 
rounding the glands, the superficial lymphatic vessels were 
the seat of numerous tubercles of the same nature, containing 
epithelioid and round giant cells, with numerous bacilli. 
This fact proves that the morphological elements of tubercles 
(epithelioid, round, and giant cells), do exist in a tuberculous 
mother, and that a regressive metamorphosis, (caseous and 
•calcareous degeneration), can also take place. The infection 
was probably transmitted through the portal vein, as only 
the glands of the hepato-duodenal ligaments were affected.—
