Compilation of a conference abstract, a handwritten draft of it, and a typed manuscript on malignant mesothelioma cases in the Connecticut Tumor Registry from 1935 to 1977.

It reports a rise in registered cases after 1954 and weak diagnostic confirmation of many cases, and says a slide review is needed. The exhibit ends with a blank abstract-instruction form carrying an unrelated sea-snake venom abstract. unreviewed
