Asthis new tissue shrinks, it either, if in large quantity, encroaches onthe gland spaces, or, if in small quantity, separates their walls and leadsto detachment of the epithelial lining cells. Polypi of the cervix may be either mucous, adenomatous, or are rare; they are similar in structure to fibroids of the 648 THE ORGANS OF GENERATION IN THE FEMAIE body of the uterus. The mucous variety is con:mon, and occurs assmall papillary outgrowths, seldom larger than a pea, attached to one orboth lips of the cervix; they are usually associated with chorion.

To obtain satisfactory preparations of the above conditions itis absolutely essential that portions of the cervix be removed duringlife and carefully hardened (?;§ 61-64), otherwise the epithelial liningof the canal and of the erosions will be lost, and a fallacious appearanceproduced.
