    these bodies lias been explained on the theory of transformed blood clots which have become impregnated with the least soluble salts of the blood, and also on the theory of their absorption through the walls of the vein. A sluggish circulation within a vein is supposed by some to favor the development of phlebolithes. Many of these enumerated conditions, which may affect the arte- rial or venous system, require but the description already given to aid in their successful recognition during life, should a diagnosis be possible. I have appended, however, in the following pages, as a fit closing of the chapter on the surgical diseases of the blood- vessels, all those conditions, which to my mind seem liable to be confounded, arranged in the form of diagnostic tables. Aneurism in general will be here found contrasted with all conditions liable to result in error in diagnosis; the various types of aneurism will be found differentiated from each other, and from atheroma; and fatty degeneration of arteries, emlolism, thrombosis, adhesive phlebitis, suppurative phlebitis, and varices of veins will be found with their symptomatology concisely stated.
