A total of 396 cases of aneurysm were recorded at the hl:lyo C’linic in the years 1925 to 1935, inclusive. In this series of cases, 143 of the aneurysms were intracranial, 339 were intrathoracic, 80 were intra-abdominal, 21 involved the extremities, and 13 were of a miscellaneous character. Syphilis was present in 3.5 per cent of the cases of intracranial aneurysm, in 70 per cent of the eases of thoracic aneurysm, in 8.8 per cent of the cases of intra-abdominal aneurysm, in 9.5 per cent of the cases of aneurysm of an extremity, and in 7.7 per cent of the miscellaneous cases of aneurysm. In a total of 172, or 28.9 per cent, of the 596 cases the diagnosis of aneurysm was verified at operation or necropsy. AUTHORS.

The technique of overpenetration has been useful in outlining the cardiac shadow in patients with opacities in the adjacent lung fields. Extension of the heart shadow below the diaphragm may be demonstrated. Shadows of double density on the right cardiac border in instances where the left auricle approaches the right border are sometimes seen. The contour of the thoracic spine can be determined, and instances in which a thoracic deformity was of differential diagnostic import It is also possible to visualize the trachea and main bronchi. have been noted.

1937. Through visualization by Lucien’s method the arterial tre* in the lungs is subdivided into various sections. The notion of areas of ventilation of the lungs added to the knowledge of the elements of the distribution of vessels is useful in the localization of lesions of the lung even after projection on to the single plane of the x-ray film.
