Occasionally, though this is rare, it is some- what lobulated or angu- lar, either externally or upon the inner surface, or in'both these situa- tions at the same time. Its size and weight vary very much in individual cases. In five specimens of this species of mole which I exam- ined with great care along with Professor Parker, the mean weight was found to be a little more than one ounce, the maxi- mum two ounces, the minimum six drachms. The length in the same cases varied from two inches and a half to three inches and a quarter ; the width, from one inch and a half to two inches and a quarter ; and the thick- ness, from one inch and a half to two inches. We are told by some writers, amongst others by Unezwolf, a German physi- cian, of fibrinous moles that weighed nine pounds, and were.
