According to the modern view as. Fig. 1 Photographic illustration of encapsulated dead fetus set forth by KeUy,' WilUams,= and others, the theoretical possi- bihty of primary abdominal pregnancy is admitted, but con- clusive e\-idence that it actually occurs is not forthcoming. Conclusive proof of prunarj'' abdominal pregnancy in any case in which gestation is well advanced is ob\'iously impossible. The facts in the present case are not incompatible with the theory that the ova were discharged into the peritoneal ca\-ity after gestation was initiated. '? Kelly. Amer.
