![medical men, to whom we desire to express om* thanks. To the following gentlemen we are especially indebted: Messrs. Tweedy, Brailey, Reginald Clarke, E. W. Goodall, Groome (Stowmarket), Hodges (Leicester), Hewlett (Hull), and Price (Reading), The ultimate result in a ceriain number of the cases was ascertained by reference to the death register at Somerset House. Under the following headings are given the figures obtained by analysis of the tables, and generally a com- parison with those reported by previous writers:— Sex of Patients. Of the total number, 103, there were:—males, 59 or 57*28 per cent.; females, 44 or 42*71 per cent. The sHght preponderance of males corresponds fairly closely with that in the much larger number of cases collected from various som-ces and published by Fuchs ; his figures are (of 259 cases), 137 males; 116 females; 6, sex not specified. His percentages are (in 253 cases), males, 54*]5 per cent.; females, 45*84 per cent. Although the proportion of cases in the two sexes varies somewhat in different records, we have only met with one in which the percentage was higher among females. In this paper, by Martin, 43 cases are reported, of which 29 occurred in women. In the collected cases of primary sarcoma of the iris, on the other hand, the percentage has been larger in the female sex. In Pfliiger's 23 cases there were 15 females, 8 males. In 18 cases collected by Treacher Collins 10 were females, 7 males, and in 1 the sex was not stated. In the 6 cases of cihary body tumours included in our list, the proportion is equal in the two sexes. Of 17 cases pubhshed by Mules (in which are included three of the cases in our tables) 14 were females, 3 males.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21649753_0005.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
