1. Dr Cottcrill exhibited the following specimens occurring in Mr Annandale's practice:?1. Medullary cancer of TESTICLE.

The specimen, weighing 11 pounds when fresh, was removed from Mr 11., aged 45 . Patient had been married eleven years, and in that time had a family of nine children. His right testicle had never descended from the abdomen. His father had the same abnormality. Two years ago he had noticed enlargement of the organ, which had gradually progressed until its removal in May of this year. At that time it hung down to his knee, and he had to wear a suspensory apparatus. In this instance the undescended testicle was of no service, as when the disease attacked the left testicle he ceased to have sexual desire. There was no pain in the affected part in the course of the disease. The In this paper, after alluding to the rarity of this complication, the author gave some details of eighteen cases which he had collected from various sources.

Seven of the cases had occurred during pregnancy, and eleven either at the end of pregnancy or during the lying-in period.
