Of the former, nine were encephaloid and five were scirrhous tumors; of the latter, four teen were encephaloid, ten scirrhous, and two colloid formations; the primary dis ease having been seated in the stomach and pyloric end of the duodenum in seventeen, in the ovaries and its tubes in four, in the liver in three, and in the pancreas in two cases.
