Fourteen dogs, anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, were subjected to histochemical study of the lower third of the esophagus. The smooth muscle of the esophagus was richly innervated with cholinergic nerve fibers, both in the muscularis mucosa and muscularis externa, in spite of the fact that there were comparatively few cholinergic ganglion cells within Auerbach’s plexus. The authors suggest that at least part of the cholinergic innervation of the lower esophagus and cardio-esophageal sphincter is derived from ganglion cells in the stomach. The adrenergic innervation within the esophagus was contained within the Auerbath plexus near the ganglion cells and supplied primarily the muscularis mucosa. This descriptive study serves as a basis for those who would study achalasia and other neurologic diseases of the esophagus in the dog.--1. G. Rosenkrantz.

Seventy-nine children with gross cerebral palsy were examined radiologically, 16 being children with symptoms referrable to the gastrointestinal tract. In 29 children the barium swallow was abnormal; 14 showed a hiatus hernia. and 16 had gastroesophageal reflux only. Abnormalities and anemia were common in those children with symptoms. Extensor spasm, incoordination of deglutition accompanied by air swallowing and kyphoscoliosis were considered contributing factors to the high incidence of the condition.-.I. R. Solomon.

To clarify factors controlling gastric secretion in the fetus, the effect of maternally administered insulin, histamine and gastrin on the gastric secretion in the fetuses of 15 pregnant bitches was compared. These substances were shown to cross the placental barrier and exert a stimulating effect in the case of gastrin equal to that exerted with direct stimulation of the fetus, and in the case of insulin and histamine to a lesser extent than when these substances stimulate the fetus directly. Further studies are in progress---W. K. Sieber.
