![512. A small tumour which was situated immediately under the skin, and was extracted at St. George’s Hospital. A portion of the integuments remains on one side, and the tumour is opened on the other to show its contents, which consist of thin flaky substances having the appearance of a suc- cession of cuticles. 513. An encysted tumour removed from the breast of a gentleman. It was filled with a flaky substance, which appeared to be a succession of cuti- cles, similar to that immediately lining the cyst. 3. Cysts containing Hair. 514. An encysted tumour taken from the eye-brow of a man at St. George’s Hospital, with hair growing from the inner surface. Its cavity was filled with caseous matter. 515. An encysted tumour from a sheep, containing wool enveloped in fatty matter. 516. A similar tumour communicating with a long canal which passed down the thigh of the same animal. The tumour is filled with wool enveloped in fatty matter, which also extends in impacted masses throughout the whole of the canal. 517. A tumour containing hair, formed in the shoulder of a cow which had six legs. The tumour has a very dense external covering, in texture much resembling the internal surface of the skin of that animal; and its cavity is tensely filled with light brown hair felted together, intermixed with a substance of an earthy and fatty nature. 518. A similar tumour from the shoulder of the same animal, in which are con- tained several balls of hair. The cyst has a distinct cuticular lining. 519. A small spherical cyst in the human ovarium, containing fat, in which there is some hair. [The hairs are very few, but are obvious on a close inspection.] 520. The cyst of a tumour of the ovarium, which was filled with a fatty sub- stance. The contents have been removed and the cyst inverted, to show its tuberculated wart-like surface. 521. A very large encysted tumour in the human ovarium, filled with fat, in which hairs are interspersed. g 2](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0055.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
