Having placed a mark on the skin opposite these three angles the oro-an is mapped out on the surface as follows:—The posterior margin is obtained by joining the posterior and inferior angles; this margin, which gives the key to the position of the spleen, will be found to follow the eleventh intercostal space.

Commencing at the vertebral angle, the anterior margin is at first arched, the summit of the arch reaching to the level of the upper border of the ninth rib in the scapular line; thence it is continued downwards and forwards across the posterior axillary line as the " anterior crenated border " to the anterior angle. The upper arched portion lies parallel to and about one inch below the highest part of the fundus ot the stomach. The only parts of the splenic outline which can be defined by percus- sion are the lower crenated part of the anterior margin, the anterior angle
