The mucous membrane of the vulva was thicklystudded over with countless granular elevations about the size ofhemp seed. The areas of mucosa in which the granules werelocated were generally injected, sometimes intensely inflamedand thickened. In such cases, the granules were very abundant, in color, but not so intensely injected generally as thecontiguous mucosa. In many cases, where abundant granules of large size werepresent, the mucosa was not greatly injected. In instancesthe granules were very prominent, not .so numerous, but ap-peared larger.
