Extract

A mouse, which had been intraperitoneally injected with a filtered, diluted, cellular suspension of mouse-adeno-carcinoma, three months afterwards, was found to have developed a tumour of the same type on the pyloric end of the stomach surface, adherent to a cyst of the liver, containing the strobiloid larval stage of Taenia crassicollis.

Thirty-five other mice, similarly injected, but which were not infected with this cestode, did not develop growths in the peritoneum.
