If you are like the writer, the representations ofthe stomach, as seen in the books, are confusing un-til you have actually dissected a stomach and deter-mined the relations of the parts. A diagram is oftenhelpful in making these matters clear. The accom-panying diagram is not a drawing at all, and is notintended to show the parts as they actually are, butchanges the location so that all the parts, in about.
