    In the section on the localization of foreign bodies the description of a number of the methods of localization has been omitted, as the omitted methods were seldom used during the World War. The sections on interpretation have been amplified and brought up to date. New illustrations have been borrowed from many sources. Wherever possible this policy was followed in preference to the introduction of original text figures, as an x-ray film that exactly shows the point de- scribed may fail to be informative when reproduced. The greater part of the new illustrations have been taken from “The Annals of Roentgenology.”’ The Manual is a condensed description that covers appa- ratus, technique and interpretation. All reference to therapy has been omitted, as an adequate description is beyond the scope of the book. For the analysis of the unusual case the radiologist should refer to the more detailed descriptions available in the larger works. H. C. PILLsBurY, Ls Col. MOC: WasuinetTon, D. C., Apri, 1931,
