 ances well, and also an opening between the ribs, about I in. in diameter ; air entering freely into the chest before death. 1863. Dr. C. Ellis.

2160. A cyst between the lung and the diaphragm of one of the cattle that was killed during the summer of 1861, and in. in diameter ; the parietes are thick and dense ; and the contents, which have been removed, consisted of a yellow fibrinous material, and calcareous matter.
