An observation is made in this treatise (p. 537) under the description of nasal papillomata,-which lias arrested my attention, and not fully understanding it I refer to it here. Shurley says : “ The soft. or v hat is called by some the ‘mulberry papilloma’ or ‘angioma’ on the other hand is of very rapid growth and shows quite a tendency to spread. This is why some observers have considered it malignant. On account of their site, which is wdthin the vestibule of the nose. Seiler and others have believed that the most common cause of t heir origin is external irritation.” The author then gives a short description of “ true angeiomata or erectile tumours,” of which he states that cases have been reported by Wagner, Glasgow (an angeiolibroma), Delavan, Roe, Jarvis, and Casselberry ; also that Seiler has collected the reports of ten cases. He also records that Dr. George Godson reported a case of false angeioma due to a blood-clot as proved by microscopic examina- tion, which afterwards underwent absorption. Shurley’s illustration is a reproduction of Fisch’s drawing of Glasgow’s case. I am indebted to Dr. Shurley for the above references. (20) Krieg: Atlas of Diseases of tbe Nose, 1901. Nine cases admirably illustrated macroscopically wuth excellent descriptions in the text. This atlas was shortly followed by Gerber’s, in which two cases are figured and described.

Bleeding polypus of the septum is mentioned under Granulomaia (p. 165): If by round-cell tissue is meant lymphoid tissue my experience on this point, as well as others in this reference, does not accord with Dr. Griinwald’s.

On a case of Bleeding Tumour of the Septum from Professor Paltauf’s Pathological Institute. A brochure which, like that of Hasslauer, w’ill be found to be of great value to students of this subject. With but few exceptions this brief r6sum6 indicates the authors of clinical papers only. As regfrds the text-books in the English language, the references to nasal angeiomatous growths are somew hat meagre and many omit them altogether. In text-books on special pathology they are hardly ever alluded to. The Proceedings of the Larvngological Society are published by, and obtainable from, Messrs. Adlard, Bartholomew Close. They are also reproduced in the Journal of Laryngology after each meeting. Harley Street, W.
