The results so obtained have been detailed, partly in the form of Tables and partly as a series of notes dealing with the morphological and regional distribution of the neoplasms. The melanotic sarcomas, the adamantinomas and the sarcoma of Kaposi are commented upon in some detail. Due regard has been paid throughout to age incidence and to sex.en© University of Pretoria.
