The following cases of intracranial tumor occurred in patients in the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane. The clinical history and post-mortem findings are given, not because of any marked peculiarity, so much as because of the growing interest in the subject—an interest which can but be stimulated and widened by reports of the careful observation of such cases. It is a matter of regret that an accurate diagnosis was not made before the patients reached the postmortem table, and there is a sort of selfish vindication in the thought that those of wide experience and having at their command the most approved means and methods of diagnosis sometimes fail to arrive at correct conclusions. As knowledge of the brain and its functions increases improvements in methods of diagnosis may be looked for, until a tumor may be as accurately located in the skull as in the abdominal cavity. <i>Case</i>
