Encephaloid, compared with some of the other heterologous formations, is avery frequent disease, occurring in both sexes and at every period of life. It isnot peculiar to the human subject, but is occasionally witnessed in the inferioranimals, especially the horse, ox, and dog. It may exist alone, or be asso-ciated with tubercle, scirrhus, melanosis, hydatids, and other growths. Theforeign matter is deposited in the different organs in three distinct varietiesof form, — the tuberoid — the stratiform — and the infiltrated. In the tuberoid variety (PI. IV., Fig. 1) the heterologous matter appears in TlaU // Fig / Tuber iform v. Fig Z. Pedunculate; i. Fig. 3. Stratiform v. FYg. 4-. Infiltrated v.
