The lung-mapping gave us the location of the large vessels which bearmore or less constant relation to the tracheobronchial tree. In collaboration with Dr. Willis F.

IXTERCOSTAL THORACOlUXCTUKE was devised. The parallel sides were designed to prevent leakage of air or bloodpast the instrument at least before the cornpletion of the seizure and withdrawalof the foreign body. The point was designed to push aside rather than penetratelarge vessels. As suggested by Dr. Thomas Shallow, if the pleura should provetoo thick for penetration a puncture with a very slender tenotome would give thepenetrator a start. The possible dangers considered were: i, open pneumo-thorax : 2, hemorrhage with its associated risks of shock, h^, infected hemothorax, intrabronchial leakage and from the pulmonary artery, which Dr. J.
