In the third stage, which alone I have had an opportunity ofexamining microscopically, I have found great thickening of the cori-um with development of new connective tissue and enlargement ofthe blood-vessels, principally the veins. The sebaceous glands weremany of them enlarged, sharing with the other elements of the skinthe common hypertrophic tendencies. They did not appear, how-ever, to have undergone any qualitative changes, with the exceptionthat some of them were filled with impacted sebum. Small cell.

Themargins of the cells were irregular. Some of the glands were normal,but the others were und
