No very careful attempts have beenmade to determine which is the usual spot in the GALL-STONE ILEUS 101 duodenum for gall-stones to perforate it, but judgingfrom two other examples upon which I have had tooperate for a cholecysto-duodenal fistula, it seems to.

The gall-bladdercommunicates with the duodeniun by an opening which allowedthe gall-stone in the preceding figure to enter the duodenum. me very probable that this is a common order to show the intimate relation of the gall-bladder to the first segment of the duodenum I have 102 DISEASES OF THE BILE-DUCTS introduced Symingtons excellent drawing (Fig. 35),which demonstrates the relationship in an accurateand artistic manner. This drawing also shows thepropinquity of pylorus and gall-bladder, and helpsto explain, not only the frequent occurrence of vonrit-
