The following is the report made by Dr. Gottheil as to the 
rjtnre of the tumor taken from the dog. 
The tumor is very soft, in fact gelatinous, but is distinctly 
minted and encapsules. It is in two irregular parts, the larger 
e 7x5x4 inches, and the smaller, 4x4x3 inches. Its general 
pearence and consistency is that of boiled tapioca; but where 
3 fibrous partitions divide off the subordinate capsules, is 
mer. There are a few haemorrhagic foci. Alcohol causes 
fid whitening of the mass, and throws a white precipitate in 
3 rather abundant fluid that can be squeesed out of it. 
A fiesh specimen showed under a moderate power a number 
straight interlacing fibres witli abundant transparent matter in 
meshes; a number of nuclei, the cell outlines being indistinct, 
■ P rosen t in it. At places there are collections of small round 
Is, and there are many minute vessels in the hyaline mass.

Hardened and stained sections showed the same general ap- 
uence, but also a moderate number of fusiform or branching 
Is in the gelatinous basement substance. These walled blood- 
sels are fairly abundant, many of them have ruptured. In 
ie places there is a small amount of fibrillar connective tissue, 
all round cells infiltrate the mass in greater or less number; in 
nv places these foci are large and closely packed masses. 
Diagnosis. —Myxo-sarcoma gelatinosum, malignancy very 
rked; will probably return in situ.
