I find in my operative work records of one case of migrated par-ovarian cystoma and of three cases of migrated ovarian tumors. I shall spare you the details of these to-night, inasmuch as I am engaged in the preparation of a paper embodying the clinical features and the findings at operation in these four cases.

Since then I have learned from her medical attendant that she developed still another growth, "a hard mass, filling the pelvis and reaching high up in the false pelvis." Recently the patient died suddenly, the exact cause of death not being known. It is a...
