He compares the destruction of the epithelium which occursunder those circumstances to cirrhosis of the liver and describes, under the name of follicular salpingitis, an ana-tomical lesion which scarcely merits a special classification. It is dis-tinguished by cystic cavities in the walls, giving it an areolar ap-pearance, but this pseudo-glandular character is common to all thevarieties of tubal inflammation (Figs. 5 and 6.)
