You see awhite, firm, tough net-work, which appears empty, or at least con-tains only in spots red or discolored coagula, or possibly is filled withsmall, round, chalky concrements, so-called vein-stones ; but we mustimagine the mesh-work as distended with blood previous to its extir-pation. The boundary of this cavernous tissue, which may form in allthe tissues of the body, is sometimes evidently a sort of capsule; butin other cases this cavernous degeneration is very indistinctly bounded,and at different spots, in a rather indifferent manner, it enters thetissue. Microscopic examination of this mesh-work, which is formedsometimes of thin threads, sometimes of membrane-like capsules,shows that the branches are formed of remains of the tissue in which Fig. Mesh-work from a cavernons angioma of tne lip (the blood is to be imagined in the large meshesbetween the net-work). Magnified 350 diameters. the cavernous ectasia occurs. The inner wall of the space filled withblood is, in most cases, coated with spindle-shaped cells (venous endo-thelium), so that even these anatomical conditions go to prove that wehave to deal chiefly with distended veins. The mode of developmentof this peculiar tissue has received different explanations. If we had any accurate investigations about the development of ANGIOMATA. COY the corpus cavernosum penis, we might draw some definite conclusionsfrom them, on account of the great analogy of the two tissues. Thethree chief hypotheses about the development of cavernous tumorsare as follows: 1. It is asserted that the cavernous spaces first developfrom the connective-tissue, and secondarily become connected wit
