pendix wall. An appendix inflamed de novo israrely associated with diverticula. The inflam-mation presenting may be acute or chronic.With the knowledge of the pathology the

causation of these diverticula can be determined.It is evident that there are three factors involved.Firstly, the muscle in the thickened wall of theinflamed appendix contains lymphoid tissue, latergranulation tissue appears, invades the sub-mucous coat and finally the muscle, leaving aweakened scar. Secondly, because of the in-flammation, spasm of the muscle fibres becomes afactor; first the longitudinal fibres and then thecircular fibres contract and the mucous me'mbraneherniates through. Third and lastly, there isobstruction of the lumen with irregular distension,thus resulting in the formation of pockets.Thus it can be seen that the case presented

differs in many respects from the common descrip-

tion. The diverticulum was solitary, it presentedon the convex aspect of the appendix and farfrom being unaffected by the associated in-flammation of the appendix was involved in aninfarction process. The lumen was uniform inl.ength, with none of the distortion so character-istically seen in other cases. Finally, the thicken-ing of the meso-appendix was less than one expectsto see in such cases.My thanks are due to Mr. W. Magauran for

permission to publish this case, and to both himand Mr. E. P. Hall-Drake for their kindly criticism.
