STATEMENT OF My Own Work. INTRODUCTORY. HILE the function of the placenta has long been accepted as a physiological fact, of the actual processes by which that function is initiated and maintained very little is known. The great reciprocity that must exist between the two blood systems, maternal and foetal, in the matter of the nutrition of the foetus, is entertained now in much the same vague and general way as in the day of the Hunters ; while our knowledge of the particulars of this reciprocity—its means and its methods—remains almost as conjectural as at that time. Within the last decade, however, the enquiry into the anatomy of the placenta having been in a scientific sense partially satisfied, more attention has been devoted to the
