Williams, on thecontrary, thinks that they arc derived cither from the germinal epithe-lium or from the Graafian follicle,—a view which harmonizes with the Fig. Papillomatous ovarian cyst. (Museum of the College of Physicians and Surgeons.) theory already proposed, that all ovarian cysts are of follicular origin. Thetwo former observers hold that papillary cysts developing from the hilumtend to invade the broad ligament, as distinguished from those originatingin the parenchyma, which leave it intact. Without entering further intothe discussion of their mode of origin, it is sufficient to say that thesecysts seldom attain a large size as compared with the glandular variety, andpresent a similar appearance externally, except when the papillary growthshave perforated the cyst-wall. On section they are seen to be filled withdendritic masses, varying in size from that of a millet-seed to that of theti>t, and either sessile or having long, slender pedicles. According to theirvascularity, they may present a whitish or a reddish color. They arc softand friable, sometimes having a gritty feel from the pre
