    immediately, and sometimes by a fibrous pedicle, whilst several of them are stated to have actually arisen from bone, have led me to this belief. A less likely bed than the periosteum for the origin of a fatty tumour can scarcely be imagined, whereas it is one of the ordinary seats of origin of a fibroma.” It appears to me, however, that there is no special reason why lipomata should not spring from the periosteum, for they are connective-tissue growths com- mencing as localised proliferations of cells which rapidly become infiltrated with fat. The last point of interest which I shall touch upon in connection with the tumour is the fact that the capsule is deficient over the greater part of its circumference. The shaggy appearance of the diffuse portion of the growth contrasts well with the smooth outline of that which is bounded by a well-defined fibro-cellular coat.
