Text Appearing Before Image:
m-brane of the cyst is smooth and glistening like that of aventricle, and here and there in the surface are smallyellow granules. At the base, anterior to the thickened infundibulum, thewalls are very thin and translucent, but laterally andbehind they form a firm, solid mass of a grayish colorand present a rough, uneven surface. The portion in thethird ventricle has thicker walls in proportion to the cyst,and the tissue has a grayish translucent aspect. Throughthe wall in places, particularly where thin, a yellow coloris noticeable, not uniform, but in small areas. The tissueof the infundibulum is solid, gray externally, but yellow-ish-brown in the inside and on section it cuts with a grittysensation. Pons normal. Fourth ventricle and corpora quadri-gemina present nothing special. The iter not much di-lated. The posterior aspect of the cord, about twelvemillimetres below the calamus scriptorius, presents a veryremarkable depression, as if a fine tight cord had been 670 IVILL!AM OSLER.

CA SE OF CHOLESTEA TOM A. 671 passed round in an oblique direction, extending from apoint just above the line of emergence of the anteriorroots of the first cervical nerve. The part above the con-striction projects seven millimetres beyond the level ofthe rest of the cervical cord. The pia mater dips into thedepression, and the outlines of the funiculi graciles andrestiform bodies are quite distinct to its margins. Thereis no softening, no hyperaemia, no alteration in color, andit looks like an anomaly rather than a pathological condi-tion. Fig. 7 shows a facsimile outline sketch after sectionin the groove between the restiform bodies and the poste-rior column on the right side. Histological examination.—The tumor consisted chieflyof: (1) a matrix of densely interwoven fine fibres withoutdefinite arrangement. In the infundibulum and on thewall of the cyst they were more closely set than in thesofter mass within the third ventricle. (2) Spindle and branched cells which were found in
