I SEND herewith a photograph of a very beautiful example of molluscum fibrosum. The patient is a colored man, aged thirty-two, by occupation a laborer; he has been filling the position of fireman on one of our ferry-boats for the past three or four years. He thinks the large tumor which is shown in the photograph has been developing ever since birth; that there was a small tumor in that part of the body when he was born. —Page 179.
