In chemistry arranged in a series, each member of which bears to the preceding member a constant, definite relation as regards either atomic composition, molecular weight, or some other well-marked chemical property. Such a series is called an Homologous series, and is to be found especially among the hydrocarbons and their derivatives, each member in this case differing from the preceding member by the constant increment CH2.

Of neoplasms, composed of tissue resembling some normal tissue of the body, or, in a narrower sense, the normal tissue of the part affected. [Gr.]
