In November, 1918, Goetze, in apparentignorance of the former work on this sub-ject with the exception of Rautenberg,reported very remarkable roentgeno-graphic results concerning nearly all ofthe abdominal organs, obtained by fillingthe peritoneal cavity with oxygen beforemaking the roentgen examination. diaphragm into the liver. Fluoroscopicallythe projectile was seen to rise and fallwith the apparently normal diaphrag-matic excursions. There were no evidencesof pleural adhesions. Surgical procedureby Dr. Willy Meyer revealed the bulletlying in the liver just beneath the perforat-ed diaphragm. This case was presentedbefore the New York Thoracic Society.During the discussion Dr. Howard Lilien-thal of New York suggested that the lungcould have been excluded by producing

Schmidt who, in February,1919, published an article confirniing theopinion of former authors as to the valueof this method. The occasion which particularly calledour attention to this work was a case ofgun shot wound of the chest. In attempt-ing to localize the bullet we had difficultyin ascertaining whether it was locatedin the lower lobe of the lung, embedded inthe diaphragm, or had passed through the an artificial pneumothorax, the bullet, ifin the lower portion of the lung, wouldhave receded from the diaphragm withthe pulmonary collapse. If this could bedone, we saw no reason why the presenceof the bullet in the liver could not bedetermined by producing a pneu
