    Changes in the staff in the last year were as follows: Ur. Darrell Ayer succeeded Dr. Orville T. Bailey* as Resident Pathologist, August 1, 1937. Dr. H. J. Tweddell succeeded Dr. L. E. Rector as House Officer, July 1, 1937. Dr. C. M. Campbell, succeeded Dr. George Kaneb as House Officer, December 1, 1937. Dr. R. W. Howard, Voluntary Graduate Assistant, September 1, 1937, for a period of six months. On the whole, the twenty-one years of my service as pathologist represent a period of satisfactory work and enjoyable relationship with the Departments of Medi¬ cine and Surgery, and the administrative office both under Dr. Howard and Dr. Howland. The Pathological Department has contributed its quota to the large number of Peter Bent Brigham Hos¬ pital graduates who now hold distinguished positions in their respective fields. I include this year again the tabulation, year by year, of the volume of work. The number of autopsies re¬ mains fairly satisfactory, averaging around two hun¬ dred. There has been a steady increase in the volume of surgical and bacteriological routine and in recent years the addition of biological tests for pregnancy and certain tumors has added more work than the numbers indicate. No addition to the staff has been made since 1923 when an additional house officer was added and we were given a technician for the preparation of bacteriological media for the Hospital as a whole. The Department now consists of the pathologist, resident pathologist, two house officers, two stenographers, one histological tech¬ nician, one bacteriological technician, and the post¬ mortem and morgue room attendant. * Dr. Orville T. Bailey resigned after two years of service. He has been admitted to the Society of Fellow's of Harvard University.
