COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. 
Dr. Wood’s Collection 235 
Dr. Drake’s collection 246 PREFACE. 
The present catalogue is the history of the efforts of Prof. Wood to establish 
in this city a Museum of Anatomical and Pathological Specimens, which 
he was convinced might he made a treasure-house of inestimable impor- 
tance to science. 
The Museum is situated in the grounds of Bellevue Hospital, in which 
are annually treated six or seven thousand patients. Dr. Wood early fore- 
saw the abundant material which could be collected from such a source. 
The origin of the collection may be traced to the presentation, in the year 
1856, by Dr. Wood, to the city, of the specimens, mainly pathological, 
which he had accumulated for twenty years from his hospital and private 
practice. From this nucleus the Museum has increased until it has reached 
its present size, which is unsurpassed by that of any other similar collection 
in the City of New York. 
The collection of Anatomical and Surgical Dissections was obtained 
as the result of prizes offered by Dr. Wood, to be competed for by 
the students of all the medical colleges in the city and county of New 
York. The papier mache’ collection was presented to the Museum by 
the faculty of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College. The section de- 
voted to Comparative Anatomy is, in great measure, due to the efforts 
of the late Dr. Benjamin Drake to establish such a department in the 
Museum. DEED OF THE “WOOD” MUSEUM. 
Whereas, I, James It. Wood, M. D., ol' the City and County of New 
York, being desirous that a Museum, containing Anatomical Specimens 
and Specimens of Morbid Anatomy, should be established for the purposes 
of Humanity and Science, did, in the year 1856, publicly announce said 
object to a large number of medical men and students assembled at 
Bellevue Hospital, and did then oiler certain prizes to the students of all the 
Medical Colleges in the city and county of New York, for the best specimens 
aforesaid, to be placed in the proposed Museum, accompanied by testi- 
monials signed by the Professors of the said colleges, who were to be the 
judges of the said specimens, and to award the prizes therefor, and 
Whereas, From my own operations and preparations, and contributions 
obtained by me, certain specimens aforesaid have been collected and arranged 
in the second and third stories of the building known as the Morgue, in said 
Hospital, and 
Whereas, At a meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Public 
Charities and Correction of the City and County of New York, held on the 
first day of April, 1867, it was resolved, “That such Anatomical Specimens 
and Specimens of Morbid Anatomy as Dr. James R. Wood may present to 
the Board shall, together with the Specimens which are now the absolute 
property of the Board, be classified and arranged in cases in the second and 
third stories of the Morgue, or such other place in the buildings of Bellevue 
Hospital as the Commissioners shall determine, and shall be called The 
•Wood’ Museum of Bellevue Hospital”: 
Now, this Indenture, made the Thirteenth day of June, One Thousand 
Eight Hundred and Sixty-Seven, witnesseth that I, the aforesaid Jas. R. 
Wood, for and in consideration of the premises and of the sum of One Dollar 
to me in hand paid, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, have given,

my operations or preparations, or which have been collected or obtained by 
me; and all jars, bottles and cases belonging to me, now in the second and 
third stories of the building known as the Morgue, on Twenty-Sixth Street,

complete loss of sensation and motion below a line drawn two 
inches above the brim of the pelvis. The injury was received 
April 18tli, 1869 ; the man died on August 27th. There is a 
fracture through the body of the 12th dorsal vertebra. The 
upper fragment is displaced backwards, crushing the spinal 
cord. The fragments are joined by ligamentous union.

Patella, fractured and removed by Dr. Jas. It. Wood, 
from Mr. Totten, of Cold Spring, Long Island, Sept. 6th, 
1878. Fractured by the kick of a horse. Compound com- 
minuted, joint laid completely open. By an eliptical incision 
all the lacerated and contused parts were removed, the limb 
was placed on a posterior splint and plaster bandages were 
applied from toe to upper part of thigh, leaving fenestrum 
through which wound was dressed. Iron braces were added 
after first few layers of bandage, and were retained by many 
layers of bandage over them. The open treatment of wounds 
was adopted, the dressings being irrigated with carbolic acid 
water. Oakum and balsam of Peru were employed. At the 
end of sixth week the wound had entirely healed, with the 
exception of one small point. A complete and firm anchylosis 
was the result, the patient not having a single unfavorable 
symptom from the operation.

Necrosis of tibia and fibula from Simon Carroll, aged 57 
years—Irish laborer. 
Thirty years before operation he was wounded at middle of 
tibia by a scythe. Five weeks after, dead bone came away, and 
the wound healed. After this necrosis and exfoliation occurred 
about once a year. He received no surgical treatment until 
1878; then he was taken in charge by J. Gr. Shackelton, of 
Mata wan, N. J., who advised an operation for the removal of 
all the dead bone, but this he would not consent to. Finally, 
his constitution became so impaired by the continuous drain, 
and the leg became so offensive that he desired to have ampu- 
tation performed, but it was then a question whether in his 
enfeebled condition he would survive the operation. How- 
ever, on May 10th, 1879, the leg was amputated, this being 
thought his only chance for life. The wound was closed by 
interrupted suture, both Haps sloughed entirely off, and the 
wound healed by process of granulation, which fortunately 
covered the end of the bone. He eventually recovered, and 
was on January 1st, 1880, in excellent physical condition.

Wood, was suffering intense pain from sub-periosteal abscesses 
extending from upper to lower portion of bone. A free incis-

large quantity of pus, and extensive necrosis of the tibia. Pa- 
tient was relieved of pain at once. (This specimen illustrates 
the way in which Dr. Wood enucleates the bone where his 
object is to have the periosteum deposit new bone. In this 
case the periosteum is seen to have deposited a large amount 
of new bone, and the necrosed bone is in a certain degree sep- 
arated from this new formation.)

A communication was subsequently formed between tlie

the cerebral lobe, the arachnoid and dura mater being adherent 
over its superior surface. It is easily ennuceated from the sur- 
rounding brain substance, the latter being much softened. It 
is of a yellowish opaque white color, mottled with gray. The 
white portions are firm, the gray softer. The gray portions 
consist of 
1st. Numerous blood vessels containing blood. 
2d. A great number of small transparent cells, identical in 
appearance with those found in the normal gray matter of the 
cerebellum, averaging .007 mm. in diameter; also some large

anterior portion of the first tempero-sphonoidal convolution,

strum. 
The softening was due to an embolus with consecutive 
thrombosis of the left middle cerebral artery, a little beyond 
the anterior perforated space. The source of the embolus 
was from a thrombus formed in the apex of the left ventricle 
of the heart. In this apex were several small grayish red 
thrombi among the column;® carnese. There was advanced 
chronic diffuse nephritis, the kidney being small and granular. 
Both the right and left ventricles of the heart were enlarged, 
chiefly the latter. The hypertrophy seemed to compensate the 
dilatation. There were no valvular lesions. The patient was 
aphasic. Distension and increased tension in the veins of the 
neck was observed, which may account for the hemorrhagic 
character of the infarction. 82

Psammoma of dura mater. From a man forty years 
old, in whom attacks of dizziness and unconsciousness ap- 
peared, as the first cerebral symptoms about five months 
before his death. The tumor is situated over the body of the 
sphenoid bone, just in front of the sella turcica. It grows from 
the dura mater, and has invaded the bone beneath it, and has 
also displaced the brain above it. It is irregular, lobe-sliaped, 
and about two inches in diameter; firm and gritty to the touch. 
It consists of bands of connective tissue, and of a large num- 
ber of laminated bodies which usually exist in a small number 
in the brain. Most of these laminated bodies contain globular 
calcareaus masses, which can be dissolved by nitric acid.

POLYPI. 
No. 641. 
Vascular polypi of tile Heart. The right auricle and 
ventricle are both dilated. Attached to the inner surface of 
the right auricle at a point half an inch from the tricuspid 
valve, and close to each other, are two polypi. One of them 
is nearly spherical, two and a half inches in diameter, has 
a small, round pedicle firmly attached to the wall of the au- 
ricle. It is entirely contained within the cavity of the auricle. 
The other polypus is oval in shape, three and one-half 
inches long, and has a small pedicle, which projects through 
the auriculo-ventricular opening into the ventricle. It is much 
calcified, and its free extremity is broken and ragged. When 
fresh both polypi were of similar appearance. They are formed 
of a yellow semi-translucent elastic tissue, and are in part calci- 
fied the oval one much more than the other. Vessels filled with 
blood on the external surfaces of the polypi were distinctly 
seen by several observers. On minute examination it was 
found that a thin membrane could' be dissected up on the ex- 
ternal surfaces of the polypi. It was composed of a network 
of fibres, and was continuous with the endocardium. The 
body of the polypi was composed of— 
First. Blood vessels in considerable numbers, arteries, and 
capillaries, some still containing blood globules. 
Second. Cells, round, oval, and stellate, .018 mm. in diame- 
ter, mostly nucleated, pale or slightly granular; also some 
spindle cells. 
Third. Fibres interlacing ii'regularly and forming bands, 
differing in appearance from the fibres formed by the coagula- 
tion of fibres. 
Fourth. A transparent homogeneous, finely granular base- 
ment substance. 
Fifth. Calcareous matter, which upon addition of sul- 
phuric acid, was dissolved with the production of bubbles 
of gas and acicular crystals. One of the principal branches 
of the pulmonary artery is completely occluded by a mass of 
calcareous matter. This is the only case of the kind that can 
be found on record. Presented by Dr. Woostek Beach, De-

Aneurism of ascending aorta. 
Patient began to complain of pain and swelling at the 
junction of the fifth rib and sternum on the right side, about 
eleven weeks before his death. He also complained of cough 
and dyspnoea. The swelling continued to increase until it 
covered the junctions of the third, fourth, and fifth ribs, with 
the sternum on the right side. The tumor pulsated, and there 
was a single murmur synchronous with the first sound of the 
heart. The apex of the heart was displaced to the left and there 
was a diastolic murmur at its base. The patient died from 
exhaustion and the autopsy revealed the following conditions: 
There was a large aneurism of the ascending portion of the 
arch of the aorta. The sac was nearly filled with fibrin, and 
was adherent to the cartilages of the third, fourth and fifth ribs, 
and the right half of the sternum. The opening into the aorta 
was just above the valves. The aneurism had invaded and 
formed a large cavity in the upper part of the septum, between 
the ventricles. This cavity did not open into either ventricle. 
The aneurismal sac communicated by a small opening with the 
pulmonary artery just above the valves.

in the dispensary of the Out-door Poor Department, March 5. 
1880, at 3 o’clock P. M. He died suddenly, while talking, the 
blood flowing out of his mouth. The aneurism had ruptured 
into the trachea, just opposite the left primary bronchus, by 
two openings. Both lungs were almost completely filled 
with blood, the left, however, more so than the right. The 
heart was normal in size, and the valves were not diseased, 
with the exception of having very slight atheromatous deposit 
at their bases. The arteries were atheromatous. Presented by 
Dr. Carpenter.

A small valvular opening was found communicating with the 
pleural cavity, close to the spinal column. The patient had 
died so slowly that he was thought to have “ pleuritis” with 
effusion. When the aorta was distended by the cardiac sys- 
tole, the valvular rent was pressed against the vertebra, thus 
preventing the escape of blood; but when the artery began to 
contract, the blood oozed through the opening, causing death 
slowly, with symptoms of dyspnoea. Presented by Dr. Jno. A. 
Wyeth, 1877. Circulatory System—Arteries and Veins.

Dissection of injected specimen, showing anastomotic 
circulation following the deligation of the external iliac artery. 
This specimen is from a patient who consulted Dr. Jas. R. Wood 
in June, 18(57, for a tumor in the right groin. The patient. 
T. W., first noticed the swelling in 18(32, while a soldier in the 
U. S. army. It increased until 18G5, when he was obliged to 
stop work. Dr. Wood decided that it was an aneurism high up 
on the femoral artery and advised operation. This was done by 
Dr. Wood on July 12tli, 1867, in the amphitheatre at Bellevue Hos- 
pital. The patient was discharged cured on August 28th, the tu- 
mor having decreased so as to be hardly appreciable, the pulsa- 
tion having entirely stopped from the date of operation. The 
tumor, before operation, was as large as a small sized cocoa- 
nut. In this case the epigastric artery was also tied, which 
has been Dr. Wood’s method of procedure in six of his eight 
cases of deligation of the external iliac. This was done to pre- 
vent return circulation in the sac, which had occurred in one of 
Dr. Wood’s cases, where the epigastric artery was not tied. The 
patient died in Bellevue Hospital of phthisis pulmonalis on 
May 25th, 1880, and the specimen was prepared by Dr. H. G. 
Wildman, Dr. Wood’s house-surgeon at the time.

The larynx was found to have been the seat of destructive in- 
flammation. The epiglottis was destroyed, and all the soft 
parts about the vocal cords were very much altered from their 
normal appearance. There was no evidence of recent inflam-

cavities at the apex, filled with blood, fibrous induration, and 
several small opaque white tumors. In the right lung there is 
fibrous induration, and several similar tumors, the largest the 
size of two peas. These tumors were situated in the new fi- 
brous tissue, and did not fill any of the air cells. They were 
identical with the tumors in the liver, consisting of fusiform 
and round cells, and tissue which had undergone cheesy degen- 
eration. Respiratory System—Larynx, Trachea, Lungs.

The autopsy disclosed secondary deposits in lungs. The lungs 
were filled with tumors ranging in size from a pea to the size 
of an orange. A large mass was situated at the base of the 
left lung, and another was at the apex of the right lung. Sev- 
eral small tumors were found in the pancreas, and very many 
in the mesentery. Nearly all the lymphatic glands in the en- 
tire body were enlarged. The heart was hypertrophied, but 
flabby ; the kidneys were waxy. For full history of the case

Carcinoma of the oesophagus. From a woman forty-nine 
years old, in whom the first symptoms of the disease appeared 
seven weeks before death. The first symptom she noticed was 
pain in swallowing, then vomiting, and lastly, ten days before 
death, hsematemesis occurred. There was found to be present 
at the autopsy a large ragged ulcer, embracing the entire cir- 
cumference of the oesophagus, and about two inches in 
breadth. The edges of this ulcer, as can be seen, are turned 
up and thickened, and there is a new growth beginning in the 
(esophageal wall in the connective tissue beneath the fibrous 
coat. This new growth has replaced the oesophageal wall and 
then degenerated so as to form the ulcer. In the thickened 
edges of the ulcer the new tissue can be seen, and the mucous 
membrane is thickened. The glands around the oesophagus, 
and some in front of the pericardium are invaded by the new 
growth. The new tissue has the character of true carcinoma; 
large polygonal cells nucleated, and an alveolar arrangement of 
connective tissue, the latter scanty.

tinctly felt in the epigastrium. His liver was much enlarged. 
He became more and more emaciated, and finally died. The 
autopsy revealed a large flattened tumor, with raised edges 
and depressed centre, situated at the lesser curvature of the 
stomach, close to, and obstructing the pyloric orifice. At other 
points of the lesser curvature there were a few small sub-mu- 
cus nodules. All the glands about the stomach were much 
enlarged, and many of them had undergone cheesy degenera-

cancer, secondary to carcinoma of the testicle. The autopsy 
was made April 24tli, 1879. The removal of the primary lesion 
in the testicles in September, 1878, was performed by Dr. Jas. 
R. Wood. Microscopic examination showed the growth in the 
testicle to be carcinoma. The autopsy showed a metastatic tu- 
mor, taking its origin from the retro-peritoneal glands. This 
tumor was the size of an adult head; it had ulcerated through 
the duodenum, at its posterior wall, and the specimen shows 
the duodenum with the ulcerated spot and a portion of the 
tumor attached. Presented by Dr. W. H. Welch.

colon. To the right of the stricture is seen an Italian currant, 
which at times completely occluded the gut by falling into the 
strictured portion and forming an obstruction comparable to 
a ball and socket valve. To the left of the stricture is a ma- 
lignant growth resembling in appearance, size, and color, a 
large strawberry. This patient suffered from obstinate consti- 
pation and severe pain, which could only be relieved by large 
doses of calomel, he often requiring from fifty to one hundred 
grains in divided doses, before obtaining relief.

HERNIA (Strangulated.) 
844. 
Strangulated hernia showing wax preparation of com-

habit for many years of reducing the hernia himself when it 
came down. On this occasion he failed to reduce it, and 
walked from No. 6 Bowery to Fourth street with it down. 
Then with great force he succeeded as he thought. Symptoms 
of strangulation soon came on, and two of the most prominent 
medical men of New York, one a surgeon, were called in, but 
did not recognize the condition, attributing the symptoms to 
invagination or intussusception. He died on the third day, 
without taxis having been performed. Dr. Jas. R. Wood made 
the autopsy and had the cast made. 
845. 
Strangulated Hernia showing entero-epiplocele. The

A single kidney. A middle-aged mail Was seized with 
an attack of retention of urine, and it not being possible to 
pass a catheter, an attempt was made to relieve him by punc- 
turing the bladder through the rectum. These endeavors fail- 
ing on the part of his own physician, he was sent to Bellevue 126 
I rinary System— Kidney. 
Hospital. Immediately on his admission a number fifteen bul- 
bous catheter was easily passed, and his urine was drawn off. 
The patient died, however, in a few days. The autopsy showed 
that there was but one kidney, and that it was situated oppo- 
site the promontory of the sacrum. It was of large size, and it 
received its supply of blood from the arteria sacra media. Its 
vein was given off' from the vena cava, near its bifurcation, and 
its long and short ureter entered the bladder near the neck of 
that organ. The pelvis and calyces of the kidney were dilated, 
and there were spots of interstitial nephritis. A small wound 
of the cortex made by the trocar was visible. The bladder was 
not hypertrophied, but its mucous membrane was congested 
and sloughy. The trocar in entering passed to the right side 
and behind the bladder. The urethra was not examined.

Handle of a pewter spoon This was removed from 
the urethra of an aged man, who appeared in Dr. Wood’s office 
one morning, stating that he was suffering from an attack of 
gravel. Dr. Wood, on examining his perineum, felt this hard 
substance in the urethra. He introduced a pair of urethral 
forceps, and removed this spoon-handle.

Leather thong. This had been introduced into the blad 
der of a man (who had been married for about one year) for the 
purpose of gratifying his venereal desires. Prior to his mar- 
riage. he had been a confirmed masturbator; and, unable to 
break himself of the habit, continued it after marriage. He 
appeared in Dr. Jas. R. Wood’s office in East Broadway one 
night, while he (Dr. Wood) was examining his class of private 
students. Dr. Wood sent down to see what was wanted of 
him, and the student came back saying that there was a man 
in the office who had a leather thong hanging out of his penis. 
The Dr. then went down and found that all endeavors to pull 
it out by force were fruitless. He then injected warm oil into 
the urethra, and introducing his finger into the rectum, suc- 
ceeded in extracting it from the bladder. The meatus had to 
be enlarged, however, before it would pass it. When extract- 
ed, the cause of the resistance was plainly seen to be a remark- 
able knot which has never been untied, and which may still be 
seen in the specimen. This had been tied by the action of the 
bladder, and the patient was unable to draw it out. See 
“ Gross on the Urinary Organs,” second edition, page 838.

Several pieces of beeswax coated with phosphates, from

The gentleman stated that he had a stricture, and that he 
rolled the beeswax out, after heating it in hot water, into the 
shape of a bougie, and while manipulating it in the urethra it 
broke and passed into the bladder. It was ascertained from 
others that he used it for the gratification of uis venereal appe- 
tites, and in introducing the lithotrite it was discerned that 
there was no stricture present.

Prostatitis suppurativa, with hypertrophy of the mucous 
and muscular coats of the bladder. A man, aged thirty-seven, 
contracted a gonorrhoea when seventeen years of age, and had 
gleet up to the time of his death. For the last five years of his 
life he suffered from constant desire to micturate, then only 
passing a small stream. He had several attacks of reten- 
tion of urine. He was admitted to Bellevue Hospital, with 
symptoms of acute pleurisy, and died in a few days. The au- 
topsy showed the bladder to be much hypertrophied, but not 
dilated; its mucous membrane was thrown into prominent 
folds, and was intensely congested; in the cavity was a blood 
clot. The prostate was moderately enlarged and honeycombed, 
with cavities containing pus. The vesiculse seminales are 
much enlarged, and also contain many purulent cavities. The 
ureters and pelvis of the kidneys were dilated. The kidney 
substance was far advanced in fatty and granular degeneration.

Urethral stricture, causing retention of urine. The pa- 
tient, who lived in the country, suffered so severely that the 
country practitioner, having no other instruments at hand, de- 
cided to puncture the bladder above the pubis with a bistoury. 
This he did, and there followed extravasation of urine, which 
infiltrated all the tissues of the penis, scrotum, and abdomen.

Portion of a penis that was amputated by a prostitute with 
a case-knife. On admission to Bellevue Hospital, the penis 
only hung by a piece of integument; but, as the wound was 
fresh, and the cut perfectly clean, Dr. Martin Burke, the House 
Surgeon, decided to attempt to save the c rgan. This was not suc- 
cessful, and the distal end would not unite. On admission, the 
man stated that the injury had been inflicted through jealousy 
of one woman by another inmate of the house of prostitution; 
but, in his ante-mortem statement, he said, under oath, that she 
had injured him in self-defence, he having attempted to commit 
rape. This cleared the woman in the courts. Specimen

Carcinoma of testis. Presented by Dr. Little. A man 
aged thirty years received a blow on the testis seven years 
before the operation. About four years after the injury the 
testis began to enlarge, and increased steadily in size until the 
time of its removal. The testis forms a tumor as large as a 
man’s fist. It is enclosed in the tunica albuginea, except at a 
few points where this membrane is eroded aud broken through. 
The tumor is divided by dense bands of fibrous tissue. The 
stroma is abundant; it consists of connective tissue, fibres and 
cells, and forms round and oval alveoli filled with rounded cells.

1869, and had a miscarriage three months after. Three 
days before her death she passed large quantities of blood and 
solid material from her uterus. The autopsy disclosed the fol- 
lowing conditions: The uterus was much enlarged and filled 
with a tumor, the outer surface of which was ragged and 
sloughy, while the interior was much firmer and more com- 
pact. The tumor was attached over the greater part of the 
posterior wall and fundus of the uterus, lifting up a rim of 
tissue around it. There was evidence of recent peritonitis.

no history of any disease or injury. On the morning of August 
3d, 1876, about 9 o’clock (about one hour after breakfast), was 
seized with colicky pains in abdomen, vomiting and purging. 
A physician was called in, and treated the patient for cholera 
morbus. The woman died about half an hour afterward in 
collapse. The autopsy revealed the abdomen filled with fluid 
and clotted blood. The right fallopian tube was enlarged, and 
about its middle a small rent was visible. The tube contained 
a foetus of about the third month of utero-gestation. The hem- 
orrhage occurred in consequence of the rupture of the fallopian 
tube. The patient had menstruated as usual, and had not pre- 
sented any evidence of pregnancy. Presented by Dr. E. T. T.

TUMORS. 
NOTE.—The following collection of tumors, for the sake of con- 
venience, has been arranged upon a Pathalogical rather than upon 
an Anatomical basis, which has heretofore been the system of 
classification. 162 
Tumors. 
LIPOMA AND HYPERTROPHY. 
No. 1,263. 
Adipose tumor removed from the neck of Mr. Franklin 
Merritt, of Stamford, Conn., about thirty years ago—i. e., 1850. 
The tumor extended from the mastoid process of the temporal 
bone, under the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle, covering the 
common carotid and jugular, reaching down under the clavicle, 
and making pressure on the cervical and brachial plexuses of 
nerves, and causing partial paralysis of the right arm. There 
was a projection of the tumor reaching out from under the 
sterno-cleido-mastoid at its external border. In this operation 
the external jugular vein was tied by two ligatures and cut be- 
tween them. The internal jugular and common carotid and 
sub-clavian artery and vein were exposed during the operation. 
1.264. 
Lipoma removed from Mrs. R., aged 51 years, of Norfolk, 
Conn., by Dr. Wm. H. Welch. It was situated on the back and 
side of the neck, reaching to the angle of the jaw. The tumor 
had been growing sixteen years, and weighed 2J pounds.

sented by Dr. Chas. Phelps. 
1.272. 
Fatty tumor removed from the ischio-rectal fossa, 
pressure of the tumor on the rectum defecation was rendered 
difficult and painful. Patient also had hemorrhoids. 
1.273. 
Lipoma from the perineal region. 
1.274. 
Fibroid tumor removed from the palm of the hand. 
1.275. 
Mamma showing hypertrophy and colloid degeneration. 
Weight, 141 lbs. Large veins reached up over the anterior as- 
pect of the tumor and dipped down under the clavicle. Some 
of these were as large as a little finger. Each large vein was 
compressed by an assistant before the operation commenced. 
Then, with one quick sweep of the knife, they were all divided 
at once, and the danger of the admission of air was over. The 
tumor was then quickly turned out, and the operation proved 
perfectly successful.

1.292. 
Sarcoma of groin, removed from a woman aged 30 years, 
who states that about three years before the operation she 
noticed a tumor growing in her groin; but, thinking little of it, 
she suffered it to remain without seeking medical advice. 
Finally, becoming alarmed at its rapidly-increasing size, she 
applied to Dr. Wood for advice. She was sent to Bellevue 
Hospital, and on the 6th of January, 1877, she was operated 
upon. The tumor was easily enucleated. It has a distinct cap- 
sule, and weighs | of a pound.

Osteo-cephaloma of the tibia, involving the knee-joint. 
1.298. 
Adenoid sarcoma of the mamma. 
1.299. 
Adenoma of the mamma. The tumor was situated behind 
the breast and connected with it. On microscopical investiga- 
tion, it was found to be adenoma. The patient, a young girl 
of eighteen, made good recovery, with a perfectly healthy breast..

1.301. 
Elephantiasis of the foot. 
1.302. 
Myeloid cancer of the upper arm, commencing in the 
periosteum and involving the upper part of the humerus. The 
patient was a young lady about seventeen years of age, who 
fell from her horse while riding and bruised her arm. Some 
months after, a tumor was noticed growing from near the point, 
of insertion of the deltoid muscle. The tumor was examined 
by nearly all the prominent medical men of New York, and by 
them pronounced to be malignant. This diagnosis was con- 
firmed by microscopical examination, which was made by ex- 
perts at the bedside of the patient while she was under the Tumors. 
167 
influence of the anaesthetic. Just prior to the operation, Dr. 
James R.. Wood amputated the arm at the shoulder-joint. Soon 
after her recovery she married and went to Europe, where she 
remained for about two years, enjoying perfect health, until 
about a month before her return to this country. She at that 
time complained of pain in her right groin while riding on 
horseback. A few days before reaching Sandy Hook, during 
very rough weather, she fell upon the cabin-floor of the steamer 
on which she was returning and fractured the upper portion of 
her right thigh. The disease had returned in that bone, and 
in a few months she died of secondary cancer.

first patient upon whom Dr. Jas. R. Wood used ether. 
Prof. A. Clark examined the small tumor within cyst with the 
microscope, and stated he believed the patient would die event- 
ually of carcinoma, if not from some acute disease. She died 
twenty-five years after of cancer of the stomach. 
SCIRRHUS. 
1.315. 
Scirrlius of the breast, occurring in the male. Removed 
November 8th, 1874, by Dr. Jas. R. Wood. This is the seventh

No. 1,320. 
Scirrhlis tumor removed from the body and angle of the 
jaw. The tumor reached behind the ram as, and rested upon 
the styloid process of the temporal bone. This portion was 
enucleated from its bed without much difficulty. The parotid 
gland could not be recognized. It was thought to be involved 
in the tumor or else absorbed by pressure of the tumor. The 
portio dura was not cut, Steno’s duct was obliterated, and that 
side of the buccal cavity was dry. The tumor began in one of 
the lymphatic glands, situated on the anterior aspect of the 
parotid, described by Allan Burns in his work on the Surgical 
Anatomy of the Head and Neck.

1.342. 
Carcinoma of the breast, with false aneurism of the breast. 
The woman from whom this breast was taken was brought to 
Dr. Wood’s office, having nearly bled to death. The nipple 
having ulcerated away, the aperture gave exit to a large amount 
of blood, which came from an immense false aneurism situated 
in front of the gland. The opening was plugged, and one of 
Dr. Wood’s students accompanied her in a carriage to the 
Hospital. The breast was removed at Dr. Wood’s clinic the 
same afternoon. 
1.343. 
Carcinoma of the breast. 
1,343 A.

showed it to be of carcinomatous structure with large alveoli 
filled with epithelial-like cells enclosed by considerable fibro- 
stroma. In the portions near the bone there was a sarcomatous 
structure with the presence of giant-cells.

This specimen is a dissection of the cranial, cervical and 
dorsal nerves, but more particularly of the former. The nine 
pairs of cranial nerves are traced from their point of exit 
through the skull to their final distributions. The minute, 
deep-seated inosculations of the fifth pair are shown on the 
left side of the head, the different bony parts having been cut 
away for that purpose. The more superficial distribution of 
the facial nerve and its intricate inosculation with the three 
branches of the trifacial are seen on the opposite side. Tracing 
the fifth pair on the left side, from its root to its ultimate dis- 
tribution, are noticed the Casserian ganglion, Meckles’ (spheno 
palatine) ganglion, the chorda tympani nerve, the motor root 
of the fifth pair, and the connections of the trifacial with 
neighboring cranial nerves. The inosculation of the cranial 
with the cervical are also exhibited on the anterior and lateral 
portions of the neck. The relations also of the pneumogastric 
with the glosso-pharyngeal, hypoglossal and phrenic nerves 
and with the larger vessels of the neck are also shown. The 
different branches of the brachial plexus, median, ulnar, mus- 
culo-spiral and cutaneous nerves are exposed as far as the 
elbow, also the principal blood-vessels of the neck, axillae 
and arms.

Sub-periosteal reproduction of a section of a rib. Be- 
tween thirty and forty years ago, Dr. Jas. R. Wood had occa- 
sion to open an abscess, situated between the periosteum and 
bone of a rib, and noticed that the periosteum was quite firm, 
the knife passing through it giving the sensation of cutting 
soft bone. The wound was kept open by a tent until the peri- 
osteum was firm, so that a portion of it had to be removed be- 
fore the dead bone could be extracted. The patient w’as af- 
flicted with tuberculosis of the lungs, and died about a year 
after the operation, when this specimen was obtained. The 
continuity of the rib was completely re-established. This was 
Dr. Jas. R. Wood’s first operation for the reproduction of bone.

by Drs. Burnett and Blackburn. The individual was twenty- 
seven years old, English. The vagina opened into the urethra, 
through which menstruation took place regularly. The urethra, 
prostate, vesiculse seminales and bladder were well formed. 
The testicles had not descended, aud were situated at the seat 
of their primitive formation, near the spinal column. The 
communication between the vagina and the urethra was com- 
plete and perfect. The uterus and fallopian tubes, with their 
fimbriated extremities, were also complete. The ovaries were

The name of Dr. W. M. Carpenter, who was recently ap- 
pointed a Curator, was, by mistake, omitted among the list 
of the officers of the “ Wood Museum.” 
There are a few contributors to the ‘-Wood Museum” 
whose names have not appeared in the list, for the reason 
that their cards were not attached to the specimens. This 
will explain the omissions. 
Contributors are respectfully requested, in the future, to 
send their names in full, with a brief history of the speci- 
men presented. Without the name of the donor, and the 
history of the case, the specimen cannot be credited to the 
contributor, ncr can it be of much value to the Museum. Wood Museum, Catalogue of the wood museum of Bellevue hospital,
