Innone of the plates is there a good delineationof the duodenum beyond the duodenal bulb.A study of the outline of the stomach does of the barium from the stomach rather thanto any affection of the small intestines.

Thereis no enlargement of the head of the pancreas,judging from the position of the duodenal bulband from a lew fragments of the arc ol theduodenum.
