    the white substance exchisively, is affected. When either of the varieties A or B presents a distinct mottled appearance by the contrast in colour of the red and the white substances, it con- stitutes, what is, by a descriptive appellation, denominated the nutmeg liver* II. Diminished Nutrition or Atrophy.—Any or all of the anatomical constituents may be affected. There is diminution of volume, unless atrophy of one constituent is compensated by hypertrophy of another, or by morbid depositions. Atrophy may be accompanied with either induration or softening, and with any variety of colour. Lesions of Secretion. The following appear to me to take place in the interior of the white or secreting substance, viz. A, all the varieties of granula- tions of the liver, as Figs. 75, 78, 79, 81, 82, 84, 89. B, en- cephahid, and colloid, or glue-like matter, constituting the tuhera circumscripta and diffusa of Farre, and the cancer of the liver of the old writers, as Figs. 90, 91, and 92, C, a friable concrete matter like fhrine or tubercle, Fig. 86, h, suppurating and form- ing isolated abscesses, f, which, by conglomeration, constitute masses, b. The disease appears to result from pus, conveyed into the liver by the blood from another suppurating part. The following take place both in the red and the white sub- stance, viz. D, pus from inflammation, whether infiltrated through the parenchyma of the organ or collected in abscesses; E, (Ede- ma ; F, Hydatids ; G, Serous cysts ; H, Melanosis. * Andral includes, under t]ie head of hypertrophy of one substance with atrophy of the other, the lobulated or granulated appearances of the liver. (Anat. Path. ii. 590.) As I believe that they result from a modified secretion, I refer them to the Lksions of Secretion.
