(After Boivin and Duges.) trude to a considerable distance beyond the vulva. Their form is generally that of an elongated pear. The surface is smooth, though not uniform, being usually nodulated or lobed, and in parts roughened by minute papillary growths. Sometimes one or two of the cer- vical folds or rugae, scarcely altered in cha- racter from their ordinary condition in the healthy cervix, are distinctly visible upon them. These more solid tumours are covered by cylinder or pavement epithelium and hy- pertropbied mucous membrane. Internally they are composed of loose inelastic fibrous tissue, containing a few enlarged and ob- structed follicles, one or two of which may grow more than the rest, and form a cavity distended by a slimy fluid. The growth of both these forms appears to be limited, and they never attain to the size which the fibrous polypi often reach. With the hypertrophies of the follicular structures are also to be classed those single cysts, of the size of a pea, or larger, and sometimes pedunculated, which are very commonly found 1) ing between the cervical folds, or protrud- ing from the os uteri. These consist almost exclusively of distended Nabothian follicles. c. Hypertrophy of the filiform papilla of the cervix. — A variety in the condition of the filiform papill'E upon the vaginal portion of the cervix has been described at p. 639. These papillae, nstead of being short, and covered by pavement epithelium up to the very margin of the os uteri, as they are upon the rest of the cervical lips, may present the same condition which they have within the c
