    ai nerve sheaths. In the small nodule removed from the dura the typical structure of endothelioma is seen. The proliferation in some parts of the ganglion of the nuclei of the cells in the capsules about the nerve-cells is an interesting observation. We might expect these cells to proliferate in an endothelioma of the ganglion. Thecapsulesof the nerve-cells of the spinal ganglion, ac- cording to v. Lenhoss6k8—and the same is true of the cells of the Gasserian ganglion—consists of connective Fio. 5.—One of the miliary endotheliomas on the inner sur face of the cerebral dura. tissue which passes into the sheath of Henle of the axis- cylinder process. This capsule, especially about the larger cells, presents a laminated structure consisting of two or three layers and containing small flat or elongated nuclei. The inner surface of the capsule is lined with one layer of epithelium. In many animals the cells are flattened like endothelial cells, but in man they are quite large and rich in protoplasm and the nuclei are large and round or elliptical. Yon Lenhossek at one time be- lieved that a lymph space existed about the cells of the
