Stenoses of the (Esophagus.—Barba^ reports two cases of oesophagealstenoses, in which he made radioscopic observations. The chief pointbrought out in his study is, that the ordinary methods of examination forstenosis of the oesophagus (the most important of which is the use ofsounds) do not enable us to differentiate an organic stenosis of the canalfrom a narrowing occasioned by the x>ressure of tumors in the mediasti-num or by other causes of compression.

In this position the rays pass and throw theshadow of the oesophagus tetween the heart and the spinal column. Injury or fracture of the ribs maybe radiographed in the same manner.
