    12 years.7 In the same article he reports a primary round-cell sarcoma of the epicardium, and another case of a melanosarcoma of the right ventricle secondary to a growth in the breast. A.

Charles Norris described a case of melanosar- coma of the heart in a boy of 16 years which ac- companied similar growths in the skin, kidneys, and liver. The late H. P.
