Thislimited motion of the entire side may be seen either Avhen thedisease is limited to a small pulmonary area at the apex, or dueto a general infection. There is also more or less general limi-tation of the motion of the entire side, even though the cause isa localized pleuritis. It is impossible to discuss changes in contour apart fromchanges in movement; because if tliere is a flattening or bulgingof the ribs it means that there must be a departure from thenormal in the movements of the parts. ) /. ^
