AN UNUSUAL THORACIC DUCT The careful statistical study made by Davis '15 has supplied us with a better basis for grouping anomalous ducts and for judg- ing the frequency of the different types. Since f ase \± a aible duct, observed by me some years since, differs " se rec jrded by Davis, Svitzer, von Patruban, Wutidr i ers, it seems worth while to give a short description o"" it le sketc? and notes at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bardeen, Charles Russell, 1871-1935, ed; Boyden, Edward A.
