Fig. 330AC.—Section of the embryo. X 6 times. No. i.) ORIGIN OF HUMAN MONSTERS. 321 No. 330. 330A. Ovum, 60 x 55 x 50 mm.; embryo, C. R., 12 mm. 330B. Ovum, 55 x 50 x 45 mm.; embryo, C. R., 12 mm. Dr. West, Bellaire, Ohio. The woman from whom these twin specimens were ob-tained is about 25 years of age. Fifteen months ago she gavebirth to an eight-months child, which lived for two days. Herlast regular menstrual period took place during the middleof September. The October and November periods weremissed. About the middle of December, at her regular time,bleeding began, which continued until January 21, when thesetwo ova were aborted. I am quite positive, but not certain,that woman has syphilis. Both ova have smooth surfaces, being composed of thinwalls, upon which there are occasional villi. In both speci-mens the villi are imbedded in a mass of pus, in which maybe found irregular villi, much necrotic syncytium, fibrin andblood. Many leucocytes are found in the mesoderm of thevilli.
