442. A section of a tumour formed in the substance of a nerve. 443. The opposite section of the same tumour, on the surface of which may be observed the principal part of the musculo-cutaneous nerve in a flattened or expanded state. 4. Tumours in circumscribed Cavities, attached by Pedicles. 444. A small tumour attached by a very slender neck to the peritonaeum near the broad ligament of the liver. When recent, before it was steeped in water, it had all the appearance of a coagulum of red blood, as if the blood had coagulated as it oozed out of the mouth of the vessel. This would in all probability have become vascular, perhaps scirrhous or bony, and might have been detached by some violence, and then would have become a loose tumour, like those in the following sub-series. [If held between the eye and the light, vessels may now be very distinctly seen ^ diverging from the trunk in the pedicle, and ramifying through the sub- stance of the tumour.] 445. A small tumour from the abdomen, which was attached by a small pedicle. 446. Spherical tumours on the mesentery of a sheep, to which they are attached by long slender pedicles. 447. A tumour which appears to have been coagulated blood, hanging from the Fallopian tube of a calf. 448. A section of a small pendulous tumour from the abdomen of an ox. 449. A small pendulous tumour attached by a pedicle to a portion of the omen- tum of an ox. 450. A fatty tumour which was attached by a small pedicle to the outside of the intestine of a bullock. 451. The capsule which contained the preceding tumour. 5. Tumours found loose in circumscribed Cavities. 452. A tumour found loose in the cavity of the abdomen of an ox. It had apparently been originally formed on a pedicle which has now lost its attachment. 453. A tumour found loose in the cavity of the abdomen of a lion.
