I consider this specimen one in which the embryo has beendestroyed, leaving a normal chorion without an embryo. No. 279. Fleshy chorion, 100 x 60 x 60 mm. Into the cavity theumbilical cord, 30 x 5 mm., projects. Dr. Kemp, Baltimore. Part of the chorion is hemorrhagic; the rest appears nor-mal. Sections show that the villi are nearly normal, with adeficient amount of syncytium over them, even where theyare well imbedded in blood. Within there is an amnion, andthe worm-like process which proves to be the umbilical cord,with its three blood-vessels. The vessels are well developed
