In douching the uterus it was caught in the fenestrum of the catheter. More frequently the cystic mole becomes necrotic quite early and undergoes a desiccation similar to the necrosis of the tips of the embryonic sac. The elongated sac collapses, dries and shrivels until it becomes a flattened, wrinkled, yellowish-brown cord. In such case the uterine seal is ab- sent, either having failed to form or, if formed, having been destroyed. Clinically I have seen th
