(From Hammond.) produced: but owing to the difficulty of properly performing these experiments, the results were not quite conclusive. Lastly, when pieces of uterus were transplanted into the subcutaneous tissue, deciduoinata were formed in the grafted pieces. It is concluded, therefore, that the ovaries at certain periods after ovulation (and probably the corpora lutea) elaborate a predisposing substance in the presence of which indifferent stimuli (traumatisms) may produce deciduoinata.

On the other hand, it is scarcely conceivable that an ovum could become...
