A ease of hemangioendotheliomatosis of the liver, spleen, and skin in a twenty-sixyear-old m&n is described which is interpretrd as a primary multiple cancerous growth. A second case of diffuse lymphangioendothelioma in an eighteen-year-old boy is reported. This caused elephantiasir of the genitalia, abdominal wall, and both extremities. This was also found to be cancerous on histological examination. L. N. K.

Ninety glomal tumors have been reported to date. They have a wide anatomical distribution. Once classed as angiomata, they are now known to result from hyperplasia of an arteriovenous anastomosis (digital glomus). The normal glomus is a distinct structural unit or organ consisting of an afferent arteriole, a Sucquetcollecting vein, intraglomar reticulum, and a capsular Hoyer canal, a primary portion. The article deals largely with anatomical and pathological structure, but quotes articles in which physiological deductions are made. For instance, the normal glomus may play an important part in the regulations of peripheral blood flow, of blood pressure, and of temperature regulation by heat loss. Glomal considerable treatment,
