original investigations in the pathological laboratory of the 
University. He described the microscopic appearance of a 
tumor weighing over ten pounds, found in the abdomen of a 
spaniel bitch on post-mortem. This was secondary to an en-

The cartilaginous matrix of this growth had in some portions 
been replaced by a mucoid gelatinous material, and in others 
undergone calcification. Fibrous tissue was also present, and 
in the peripheral region was a considerable number of fat cells. 
Such a variety of tissue had in fact been found that the essayist 
described the growth as being of lipo-myxo-osteo-sarcomatous

operation, conformed in appearance to what human pathologists
