Hence modern patholo-gists regard epnlides as examples of ossifying sarcomata(Cornil and Ranvier). The accompanying drawing (fig. 116),for which I am indebted to Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson, gives agood idea of the naked-eye appearance presented by a sectionof an epulis of large size. This form of the disease isclosely connected with the fibrous gum, and also with theperiosteum of the alveolus, and very generally small spiculaof bone are prolonged into it from the maxilla; the mucousmembrane of the gum is stretched over the growth. Occa-sionally a development of true bone takes place in distantparts of the growth, as in the specimen drawn above; soalso in a large epulis which I removed from the upper jawof a young woman, and which accompanied this essay(College of Surgeons Museum
