Abstract
SINCE my last communication I have been pursuing the study of the photography of the soft tissues in the living adult subject, and making attempts to see shadows of them on the fluorescent screen. In a previous communication I was able to state that I had accomplished these in the region of the neck, the tongue, hyoid bone, larynx, &c. Proceeding downwards, I have now photographed and seen shadows of the cardiac area. In the photograph the diaphragm is clearly indicated below; the pyriform shape of the cardiac area is well made out, the base down wards, apex upwards, and the right and left borders show the relationship to the spine and ribs.
