A series of autopsy thymuses was collected and studied for incidence of metastatic carcinoma. Contrary to present views, metastatic deposits of carcinoma selectively localised in the islands of thymic tissue were observed. The incidence of involvement of the thymus by proliferative disorders of the lympho-reticular system in the series is recorded. I wish to acknowledge the advice and encouragement of Dr. A. W. Pound.
