Abstract
The best -work published on cancer in the last few months is Adami's 1 recent paper opening th? whole ques-

tion of tumour formation afresh. His main endeavour is to find some ground common to all tumours, innocent or malignant; but it is difficult to bring such tumours as teratomata into line with neoplasms such as deciduoma malignum. Nevertheless he approaches and deals with the subject of the properties of the living cell in such a way as to find this common ground in a theory which is worth while to consider through the reasoning he adduces.

He starts with C. P. "White's definition of a tumour, Micro-organisms may doubtless be causes of irritation,, but this does not admit of their being the specific cause.
